Hear{H8085} this word{H1697} that Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken{H1696} against you, O children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} against the whole family{H4940} which I brought up{H5927} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} saying,{H559}

You only have I known{H3045} of all the families{H4940} of the earth:{H127} therefore I will visit{H6485} upon you all your iniquities.{H5771}

Shall two{H8147} walk{H3212} together,{H3162} except{H1115} they have agreed?{H3259}

Will a lion{H738} roar{H7580} in the forest,{H3293} when he hath no prey?{H2964} will a young lion{H3715} cry out{H5414} of his den,{H4585} if he have taken{H3920} nothing?{H1115}

Can a bird{H6833} fall{H5307} in a snare{H6341} upon the earth,{H776} where no gin{H4170} is [set] for him? shall a snare{H6341} spring up{H5927} from the ground,{H127} and have taken{H3920} nothing at all?{H3920}

Shall the trumpet{H7782} be blown{H8628} in a city,{H5892} and the people{H5971} not be afraid?{H2729} shall evil{H7451} befall a city,{H5892} and Jehovah{H3068} hath not done{H6213} it?

Surely the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} will do{H6213} nothing,{H1697} except he reveal his secret{H5475} unto his servants{H5650} the prophets.{H5030}

The lion{H738} hath roared;{H7580} who will not{H3808} fear?{H3372} The Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} hath spoken;{H1696} who can but prophesy?{H5012}

Publish{H8085} ye in the palaces{H759} at Ashdod,{H795} and in the palaces{H759} in the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and say,{H559} Assemble{H622} yourselves upon the mountains{H2022} of Samaria,{H8111} and behold{H7200} what great{H7227} tumults{H4103} are therein,{H7130} and what oppressions{H6217} in the midst{H7130} thereof.

For they know{H3045} not to do{H6213} right,{H5229} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} who store{H686} up violence{H2555} and robbery{H7701} in their palaces.{H759}

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} An adversary{H6862} [there shall be], even round about{H5439} the land;{H776} and he shall bring down{H3381} thy strength{H5797} from thee, and thy palaces{H759} shall be plundered.{H962}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} As the shepherd{H7462} rescueth out{H5337} of the mouth{H6310} of the lion{H738} two{H8147} legs,{H3767} or a piece{H915} of an ear,{H241} so shall the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} be rescued{H5337} that sit{H3427} in Samaria{H8111} in the corner{H6285} of a couch,{H4296} and on the silken cushions{H1833} of a bed.{H4296}

Hear{H8085} ye, and testify{H5749} against the house{H1004} of Jacob,{H3290} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} the God{H430} of hosts.{H6635}

For in the day{H3117} that I shall visit{H6485} the transgressions{H6588} of Israel{H3478} upon him, I will also visit{H6485} the altars{H4196} of Beth-el;{H1008} and the horns{H7161} of the altar{H4196} shall be cut off,{H1438} and fall{H5307} to the ground.{H776}

And I will smite{H5221} the winter -{H2779} house{H1004} with the summer -{H7019} house;{H1004} and the houses{H1004} of ivory{H8127} shall perish,{H6} and the great{H7227} houses{H1004} shall have an end,{H5486} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}
