“I will also smite the winter house together with the summer house;
The houses of ivory will also perish
And the great houses will come to an end,”

And do not come to Gilgal,

And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria,
The distinguished men of the foremost of nations,
To whom the house of Israel comes.

“It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord God,
“That I will make the sun go down at noon
And make the earth dark in broad daylight.
