Hearthiswordthatthe LORDhath spokenagainstyou, O childrenof Israel, againstthe wholefamilywhichI brought upfrom the landof Egypt, saying, You onlyhave I knownof allthe familiesof the earth: thereforeI will punishyou for allyour iniquities. Can twowalktogether, exceptthey be agreed? Will a lionroarin the forest, when he hath noprey? will a young lioncryout of his den, ifhe have takennothing? Can a birdfallina snareupon the earth, where nogin is for him? shall one take upa snarefromthe earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpetbe blownin the city, and the peoplenotbe afraid? shall there beevilin a city, and the LORDhath notdone it ? Surelythe LordGODwill donothing, buthe revealethhis secretuntohis servantsthe prophets. The lionhath roared, whowill notfear? the LordGODhath spoken, whocan butprophesy? Publishinthe palacesat Ashdod, and inthe palacesin the landof Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselvesuponthe mountainsof Samaria, and beholdthe greattumultsin the midstthereof, and the oppressedin the midstthereof. For they knownotto doright, saiththe LORD, who store upviolenceand robberyin their palaces. Thereforethussaiththe LordGOD; An adversary there shall be even round aboutthe land; and he shall bring downthy strengthfromthee, and thy palacesshall be spoiled.

And I will smitethe winterhousewiththe summerhouse; and the housesof ivoryshall perish, and the greathousesshall have an end, saiththe LORD.
