5 For the calf [idol] of Beth-aʹven+ the residents of Sa·marʹi·a will get frightened; for over it its people will certainly mourn, as well as its foreign-god priests* [who] used to be joyful over it, on account of its glory, because it will have gone into exile away from it.+

13 “Gird yourselves, and beat YOUR breasts,+ YOU priests. Howl, YOU ministers of [the] altar.+ Come in, spend the night in sackcloth, YOU ministers of my God;* for from the house of YOUR God grain offering+ and drink offering have been withheld.+

23 Remove from me the turmoil of your songs; and the melodious sound of your stringed instruments may I not hear.+
