* Hear ye this word , which Yahweh hath spoken , concerning you , ye sons of Israel , concerning the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt saying : * Only you , have I acknowledged , of all the families of the ground , For this cause , will I visit upon you all your iniquities . * Can two walk together , except they meet ? * Will a lion roar in the forest , when , prey , he hath none ? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den , when he hath made no capture ? * Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth , when there is no , snare , for it ? Will a net rise front the ground , when it hath , captured nothing ? * Or a horn be blown in a city , and , a people , not tremble ? Or calamity happen in a city , and , Yahweh , not have wrought with effect ? * Surely My Lord Yahweh , will do , nothing , except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants , the prophets ! * A lion , hath roared , Who will not fear ? My Lord Yahweh , hath spoken , Who can forbear to prophesy ? * Announce it over the palaces in Ashdod , and over the palaces in the land of Egypt , and say ye Gather yourselves together upon the mountains of Samaria , and behold yethe great disorders in the midst thereof , and the oppressed within her . * Therefore do they not know how to do right , Declareth Yahweh , who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces . * Therefore Thus , saith My Lord , Yahweh , An adversary ! Yea round about the land , and he who shall bring down , from thee , thy strength , And spoiled shall be thy palaces . * Thus , saith Yahweh , Just as a shepherd rescueth , out of the mouth of the lion , a couple of shankbones , or the tip of an ear , so , shall be rescued the sons of Israel , who are tarrying in Samaria , in the corner of the divan , and on the damask of the luxurious couch . * Hear ye and bear witness , throughout the house of Jacob , Commandeth My Lord , Yahweh , God of hosts : * That , in the day I visit the transgressions of Israel upon him , then will I punish , concerning the altars of Bethel , So shall the horns of the altar , be broken off , and they shall fall to the ground ; * And I will smite the winter house along with the summer house , and the houses of ivory , shall be destroyed ! and the great houses , shall disappear , Declareth Yahweh .
