Listen to this word Yahweh has spoken against you, people of Israel, against the whole I brought up out of Egypt.Out of every family on earth,
you are the only one I have .
That is why I will settle accounts with you
for .Do two people walk together
unless they have agreed to meet?Does a lion roar in
with nothing caught?
Does a young lion growl in his den
unless he has taken something?Does a bird drop onto a on the ground
with no bait in it?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
when it has caught nothing at all?If sounds in a town,
do the people not shake?
If comes to a town,
has Yahweh not done it? does nothing
without first opening up
to his servants the prophets.A lion has roared.
Who is not afraid?
The Master Yahweh has spoken.
Who can keep from ?Call it out over the of Ashdod
and the strongholds in Egypt.
Say: gather on the hills around
and look at the uproar inside her,
at the people being crushed in her streets.They have forgotten how to do . This is Yahweh speaking.
They stack up and stolen goods in their strongholds.So this is what the Master Yahweh says:
An enemy will ring the land.
He will bring your strength down off you,
and your strongholds will be stripped.This is what Yahweh says:
The way a shepherd drags
out of the lion’s mouth,
that is how the people of Israel will be pulled out,
the ones sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed,
on .Listen, and the house of Jacob. This is the Master Yahweh speaking, .On the day I settle accounts with Israel for her crimes,
I will settle accounts with the altars of .
will be cut off
and fall to the ground.I will knock down .
will be finished
and the great houses swept away. This is Yahweh speaking.
