3 For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
