Shomron and Yerushalem’s mourning

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

1:2 Shomron and Yerushalem’s mourning

2Listen, all you peoples.

Let the world and everything in it pay attention.

Let my master Yahweh be against you as a witness,

my master from his sacred temple

3because wow, Yahweh comes out of his place.

He will come down and tread on the high places[fn] of the earth.

4The mountains will melt under him.

The valleys will break apart,

like wax that’s near a fire,

like waters that are poured out from a steep place.


5All that is because of Yakob’s (Jacob’s) disobedience,

and because of the sins of the Israeli people.

What was Yakob’s transgression? Isn’t it Shomron?

What is Yehudah’s (Judah’s) high place? Isn’t it Yerushalem?

6“I will make Shomron a heap of ruins in the countryside

a place for planting vineyards.

Then I’ll pour the stones from her buildings down into the valley

and I’ll uncover her foundations.

7All her carved statues will be smashed into pieces,

and all her wages will be burned with fire.

Yes, I’ll totally destroy all her idols.

Since she used prostitutes’ wages to pay for them,

the crushed pieces of idols will become prostitutes’ wages again.”

8Because of that, I’ll mourn and wail.

I’ll go barefoot and undressed.

I’ll wail like the jackals

and mourn like owls

9because her wound is incurable.

Yes, it’s come to Yehudah.

It’s reached the gate of my peoplereached Jerusalem.


1:3 Possibly referring to the pagan temples which were often constructed on hilltops.

2Hear Oh_peoples all_of_them pay_attention Oh_earth and_all_that_is_in_of_it and_let_it_be my_master YHWH in/on/at/with_you_all as_witness my_master from_temple_of holy_of_his.
3If/because here YHWH is_about_to_go_forth from_place_of_his and_come_down and_tread on the_high_places_of[fn] the_earth.
4And_melt the_mountains under_him and_the_valleys they_will_be_cleft like_the_wax from_face/in_front_of the_fire like_water poured_out in/on/at/with_steep_place.
5In/on/at/with_rebellion_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) all_of this and_in/on/at/with_sins_of the_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) who is_the_transgression_of Yaˊₐqoⱱ am_not is_it_Shomrōn and_what are_the_high_places_of Yəhūdāh am_not is_it_Yərūshālam.
6And_make Shomrōn as_heap_of_rubble_of the_field into_place_for_planting_of a_vineyard and_pour_down into_the_valley stones_of_her and_foundations_of_her I_will_uncover.
7And_all idols_of_her they_will_be_crushed and_all wages_of_her they_will_be_burned in/on/at/with_fire and_all idols_of_her I_will_make a_waste if/because from_wages_of a_prostitute it_gathered_them and_unto the_hire_of a_prostitute they_will_return.
8On this I_will_lament and_wail I_will_go barefoot[fn] and_naked I_will_make a_lament like_the_jackals and_mourning like_daughters_of an_ostrich.
9If/because is_incurable wound_of_her if/because it_has_come to Yəhūdāh/(Judah) it_has_reached to the_gate_of people_of_my to Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).
