1 H earH8085 this wordH1697 that JehovahH3068 hath spokenH1696 against you, O childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 against the whole familyH4940 which I brought upH5927 out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 saying,H559
2 You only have I knownH3045 of all the familiesH4940 of the earth:H127 therefore I will visitH6485 upon you all your iniquities.H5771
3 Shall twoH8147 walkH3212 together,H3162 exceptH1115 they have agreed?H3259
4 Will a lionH738 roarH7580 in the forest,H3293 when he hath no prey?H2964 will a young lionH3715 cry outH5414 of his den,H4585 if he have takenH3920 nothing?H1115
5 Can a birdH6833 fallH5307 in a snareH6341 upon the earth,H776 where no ginH4170 is [set] for him? shall a snareH6341 spring upH5927 from the ground,H127 and have takenH3920 nothing at all?H3920
6 Shall the trumpetH7782 be blownH8628 in a city,H5892 and the peopleH5971 not be afraid?H2729 shall evilH7451 befall a city,H5892 and JehovahH3068 hath not doneH6213 it?
7 Surely the LordH136 JehovahH3069 will doH6213 nothing,H1697 except he reveal his secretH5475 unto his servantsH5650 the prophets.H5030
8 The lionH738 hath roared;H7580 who will notH3808 fear?H3372 The LordH136 JehovahH3069 hath spoken;H1696 who can but prophesy?H5012
9 PublishH8085 ye in the palacesH759 at Ashdod,H795 and in the palacesH759 in the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 and say,H559 AssembleH622 yourselves upon the mountainsH2022 of Samaria,H8111 and beholdH7200 what greatH7227 tumultsH4103 are therein,H7130 and what oppressionsH6217 in the midstH7130 thereof.
10 For they knowH3045 not to doH6213 right,H5229 saithH5002 Jehovah,H3068 who storeH686 up violenceH2555 and robberyH7701 in their palaces.H759
11 Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 Jehovah:H3069 An adversaryH6862 [there shall be], even round aboutH5439 the land;H776 and he shall bring downH3381 thy strengthH5797 from thee, and thy palacesH759 shall be plundered.H962
12 Thus saithH559 Jehovah:H3068 As the shepherdH7462 rescueth outH5337 of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legs,H3767 or a pieceH915 of an ear,H241 so shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be rescuedH5337 that sitH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a couch,H4296 and on the silken cushionsH1833 of a bed.H4296
13 HearH8085 ye, and testifyH5749 against the houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 saithH5002 the LordH136 Jehovah,H3069 the GodH430 of hosts.H6635
14 For in the dayH3117 that I shall visitH6485 the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 upon him, I will also visitH6485 the altarsH4196 of Beth-el;H1008 and the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 shall be cut off,H1438 and fallH5307 to the ground.H776
15 And I will smiteH5221 the winter -H2779 houseH1004 with the summer -H7019 house;H1004 and the housesH1004 of ivoryH8127 shall perish,H6 and the greatH7227 housesH1004 shall have an end,H5486 saithH5002 Jehovah.H3068
