4:15 Although you, O Israel, commit adultery,
do not let Judah become guilty!
Do not journey to Gilgal!
Do not go up to Beth Aven! 3
Do not swear, “As surely as the Lord lives!”
5:8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah!
Sound the trumpet in Ramah!
Sound the alarm in Beth Aven! 4
Tremble in fear, 5 O Benjamin!
10:5 The inhabitants 6 of Samaria will lament 7 over the calf idol 8 of Beth Aven. 9
Its people will mourn over it;
its idolatrous priests will wail 10 over it, 11
because its splendor will be taken from them 12 into exile.
