Go to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
3 Nanghon nachung uva hamsetna hunglhung vahlou dingin nagel’un, ahinlah, pumhat’a nathilbol’u chun thutanna nikho chu nakiloilut loijiuve.
Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

Who lie on beds of ivory, and stretch themselves on their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

who strum on the strings of a harp; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
6 Nanghon khon dim dim in lengpitwi nadon’un, chuleh thao namtwi pen nakinu uvin, Na nampiu manthah chu lunggim nan nanei pouve.
who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Hijeh’a chu, nangho gal-hing’a sohchang masapen’a napan diu, chutah leh nomtah’a khosaho chu, anopsahnau abon’a beisoh hel ding ahi.
Therefore they will now go captive with the first who go captive; and the feasting and lounging will end.

Pakai chu amin jeng jong iphah pohlou hel diu ahibouve,’’ ati ding, apho ding ahi.
"When a man's relative carries him, even he who burns him, to bring bodies out of the house, and asks him who is in the innermost parts of the house, 'Is there yet any with you?' And he says, 'No;' then he will say, 'Hush. Indeed we must not mention the name of YHWH.'
11 Ajeh chu vetan, in loupitah tah hojong ahalsi sia kisugep ding, chuleh in neocha cha hojong kivo goisoh hel ding ahiuve,’’ tin Pakaiyin thupeh anei tai.
"For, look, YHWH commands, and the great house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house into bits.

Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
13 Chuleh nanghon Lo-debar chunga nagaljonau chu nakithang-at piuvin, kiletsahtah in, eihon eiho thahat’a karnaim chu ilah’u hilou ham? na kitiuve.
you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say, 'Haven't we taken for ourselves Karnaim by our own strength?'

For, look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel," says YHWH, the God of hosts; "and they will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah."
