* Hear this word that LORD has spoken against you , O sons of Israel , against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt , saying , * You only I have known of all the families of the earth . Therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities . * Shall two walk together unless they have agreed ? * Will 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 ? * Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth , where no net is [set ] for him ? Shall a snare spring up from the ground , and have taken nothing at all ? * Shall the trumpet be blown in a city , and the people not be afraid ? Shall evil befall a city , and LORD has not done it ? * Surely lord LORD will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets . * The lion has roared , who will not fear ? Lord LORD has spoken , who can but prophesy ? * Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod , and in the palaces in the land of Egypt , and say , Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria , and behold what great tumults are in it , and what oppressions are in the midst of it . * For they do not know to do right , says LORD , who store up violence and robbery in their palaces . * Therefore thus says lord LORD : An adversary [shall be ], even round about the land , and he shall bring down thy strength from thee , and thy palaces shall be plundered . * Thus says LORD : As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs , or a piece of an ear , so shall the sons of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch , and on the silken cushions of a bed . * Hear ye , and testify against the house of Jacob , says lord LORD , the God of hosts . * For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him , I will also visit the altars of Bethel , and the horns of the altar shall be cut off , and fall to the ground . * And I will smite the winter house with the summer house , and the houses of ivory shall perish , and the great houses shall have an end , says LORD .
