1	Hear# this word that the LORD hath spoken# against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up# from the land of Egypt, saying# ,
			2	You only have I known# of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish# you for all your iniquities. [punish: Heb. visit upon]
			3	Can two walk# together, except they be agreed# ?
			4	Will a lion roar# in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out# # of his den, if he have taken# nothing? [cry: Heb. give forth his voice]
			5	Can a bird fall# in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up# a snare from the earth, and have taken# nothing at all# ?
			6	Shall a trumpet be blown# in the city, and the people not be afraid# ? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done# it ? [be afraid: or, run together?] [the LORD...: or, shall not the LORD do somewhat?]
			7	Surely the Lord GOD will do# nothing, but he revealeth# his secret unto his servants the prophets.
			8	The lion hath roared# , who will not fear# ? the Lord GOD hath spoken# , who can but prophesy# ?
			9	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. [oppressed: or, oppressions]
			10	For they know# not to do# right, saith# the LORD, who store# up violence and robbery in their palaces. [robbery: or, spoil]
			11	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# .
			12	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. [taketh: Heb. delivereth] [in Damascus...: or, on the bed's feet]
			13	Hear# ye, and testify# in the house of Jacob, saith# the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
			14	That in the day that I shall visit# the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit# the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off# , and fall# to the ground. [visit: or, punish Israel for]
			15	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.
