Woe to you who think you live on easy street in Zion, who think Mount Samaria is the good life.
You assume you’re at the top of the heap,
   voted the number-one best place to live.
Well, wake up and look around. Get off your pedestal.
   Take a look at Calneh.

Doesn’t that take you off your high horse?
   Compared to them, you’re not much, are you?
