1HEAR THIS word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt:
2You only have I known (chosen, sympathized with, and loved) of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your wickedness {and} punish you for all your iniquities.
3Do two walk together except they make an appointment {and} have agreed?
4Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he has taken nothing?
5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth where there is no trap for him? Does a trap spring up from the ground when nothing at all has sprung it?
6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city and the people not be alarmed {and} afraid? Shall misfortune {or} evil occur [as punishment] and the Lord has not caused it?
7Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.
8The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?
9Publish to the strongholds in Ashdod [Philistia] and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults (confusion and disorder) are in her and what oppressions are in the midst of her.
10For they know not how to do right, says the Lord, they who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.
11Therefore thus says the Lord God: An adversary shall surround the land, and he shall bring down your defenses from you and your strongholds shall be plundered.
12Thus says the Lord: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear [of a sheep], so shall the children of Israel who dwell in Samaria be rescued with the corner of a couch and [part of] the damask covering of a bed.
13Hear and bear witness in the house of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14That in the day when I visit Israel's transgressions upon him I will also visit [with punishment] the altars of Bethel [with its golden calf], and the horns of the altar shall be cut off and fall to the ground.
15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish and the many {and} great houses shall come to an end, says the Lord.
