The Lord warns of impending judgment on Samaria and Jerusalem due to the wickedness of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel, condemning those who devise evil and exploit the people. The leaders of Jacob and Israel are also condemned for their corruption and injustice, which will ultimately lead to the downfall of Zion and Jerusalem. However, in the last days, the Lord's house will be established at the top of the mountains, and people from many nations will come to learn from God and walk in his paths, with the Lord reigning over his people on Mount Zion. A ruler will arise from Bethlehem to bring peace and lead the remnant of Israel, and the Lord will ultimately judge and vindicate the righteous, forgiving the sins of his people and showing mercy to them.
