1 Hear 8085 this word 1697 that the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 against you, O children 1121 of Israel 3478, against the whole family 4940 which I brought up 5927 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559,
2 You only have I known 3045 of all the families 4940 of the earth 127: therefore I will punish 6485 you for all your iniquities 5771.
3 Can two 8147 walk 3212 together 3162, except 1115 they be agreed 3259?
4 Will a lion 738 roar 7580 in the forest 3293, when he hath no prey 2964? will a young lion 3715 cry out 5414 6963 of his den 4585, if he have taken 3920 nothing 1115?
5 Can a bird 6833 fall 5307 in a snare 6341 upon the earth 776, where no gin 4170 is for him? shall one take up 5927 a snare 6341 from the earth 127, and have taken 3920 nothing at all 3920?
6 Shall a trumpet 7782 be blown 8628 in the city 5892, and the people 5971 not be afraid 2729? shall there be evil 7451 in a city 5892, and the LORD 3068 hath not done 6213 it?
7 Surely the Lord 136 GOD 3069 will do 6213 nothing 1697, but he revealeth 1540 his secret 5475 unto his servants 5650 the prophets 5030.
8 The lion 738 hath roared 7580, who will not 3808 fear 3372? the Lord 136 GOD 3069 hath spoken 1696, who can but prophesy 5012?
9 Publish 8085 in the palaces 759 at Ashdod 795, and in the palaces 759 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and say 559, Assemble 622 yourselves upon the mountains 2022 of Samaria 8111, and behold 7200 the great 7227 tumults 4103 in the midst 7130 thereof, and the oppressed 6217 in the midst 8432 thereof.
10 For they know 3045 not to do 6213 right 5229, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, who store 686 up violence 2555 and robbery 7701 in their palaces 759.
11 Therefore thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; An adversary 6862 there shall be even round about 5439 the land 776; and he shall bring down 3381 thy strength 5797 from thee, and thy palaces 759 shall be spoiled 962.
12 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; As the shepherd 7462 taketh out 5337 of the mouth 6310 of the lion 738 two 8147 legs 3767, or a piece 915 of an ear 241; so shall the children 1121 of Israel 3478 be taken out 5337 that dwell 3427 in Samaria 8111 in the corner 6285 of a bed 4296, and in Damascus 1833 in a couch 6210.
13 Hear 8085 ye, and testify 5749 in the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, saith 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, the God 430 of hosts 6635,
14 That in the day 3117 that I shall visit 6485 the transgressions 6588 of Israel 3478 upon him I will also visit 6485 the altars 4196 of Bethel 1008: and the horns 7161 of the altar 4196 shall be cut off 1438, and fall 5307 to the ground 776.
15 And I will smite 5221 the winter 2779 house 1004 with the summer 7019 house 1004; and the houses 1004 of ivory 8127 shall perish 6, and the great 7227 houses 1004 shall have an end 5486, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
