And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.

For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

And all the people shall know, Ephraim and the people of Samaria, who say in pride and hardness of heart,

Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols, and their graven images more than Jerusalem's and Samaria's;

shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her idols?

Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And when have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
