9. There is an invitation to the Philistines of Ashdod and the people of Egypt to come to "the mountains of Samaria" (that is, Israel) in order to see the bad condition it is in.
There are "great tumults within her" and "oppressions in her midst."
In other words, people are harming one another and acting in a rebellious way.
10. The LORD describes the people of Israel as people who "do not know how to do what is right." This is the reason why they will be judged.
He also describes them as people who "hoard up violence and devastation in their citadels."
This either means that they themselves are violent and destructive or their behavior is going to bring violence and destruction upon themselves (in the form of an attack from another nation).
