Authority of the Prophet’s Message
1 Hear 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, saying:
2 “Youa only have I known of all the families of the earth;
bTherefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
bTherefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”
3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?
Will a young lion1 cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
Will a young lion1 cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no1 trap for it?
Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?
Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?
6 If a1 trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid?
aIf there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?
aIf there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?
Punishment of Israel’s Sins
9 “Proclaim in the palaces at1 Ashdod,
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the1 oppressed within her.
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the1 oppressed within her.
