1Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel,
2You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
3Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?
5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?
6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
7Surely the Lord God will do nothing,
8The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
9Publish in the palaces at Ashdod,
10For they know not to do right, saith the Lord,
11Therefore thus saith the Lord God;
12Thus saith the Lord;
13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob,
14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him
15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house;
