In context
8Because of this I will lament and wail; 9For her wound is incurable; 10Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. 11Depart in shameful nakedness, 12For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, 13Harness your chariot horses, 14Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; 15I will again bring a conqueror against you, 16Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair
