*
The lion hath roared ,
who will not fear ?
the Lord GOD hath spoken ,
who can but prophesy ?
*
Publish 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 the great tumults in the midst thereof ,
and the oppressed in the midst thereof .
*
For they know not to do right ,
saith the LORD ,
who store up violence and robbery in their palaces .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ;
An adversary there shall be even round about the land ;
and he shall bring down thy strength from thee ,
and thy palaces shall be spoiled .
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs ,
or a piece of an ear ;
so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed ,
and in Damascus in a couch .
*
Hear ye ,
and testify in the house of Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
saith the Lord GOD ,
the God of hosts ,
*
That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel Beyth -#
El #:
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 ,
saith the LORD .
