2 You only have I known <03045> (8804) of all the families <04940> of the earth <0127>: therefore I will punish <06485> (8799) you for all your iniquities <05771>.
3 Can two <08147> walk <03212> (8799) together <03162>, except <01115> they be agreed <03259> (8738)?
4 Will a lion <0738> roar <07580> (8799) in the forest <03293>, when he hath no prey <02964>? will a young lion <03715> cry out <05414> (8799) <06963> of his den <04585>, if he have taken <03920> (8804) nothing <01115> ?
5 Can a bird <06833> fall <05307> (8799) in a snare <06341> upon the earth <0776>, where no gin <04170> is for him? shall one take up <05927> (8799) a snare <06341> from the earth <0127>, and have taken <03920> (8799) nothing at all <03920> (8800)?

7 Surely the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will do <06213> (8799) nothing <01697>, but he revealeth <01540> (8804) his secret <05475> unto his servants <05650> the prophets <05030>.
8 The lion <0738> hath roared <07580> (8804), who will not <03808> fear <03372> (8799)? the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> hath spoken <01696> (8765), who can but prophesy <05012> (8735)?

11 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; An adversary <06862> there shall be even round about <05439> the land <0776>; and he shall bring down <03381> (8689) thy strength <05797> from thee, and thy palaces <0759> shall be spoiled <0962> (8738).
12 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; As the shepherd <07462> (8802) taketh out <05337> (8686) of the mouth <06310> of the lion <0738> two <08147> legs <03767>, or a piece <0915> of an ear <0241>; so shall the children <01121> of Israel <03478> be taken out <05337> (8735) that dwell <03427> (8802) in Samaria <08111> in the corner <06285> of a bed <04296>, and in Damascus <01833> in a couch <06210>.

14 That in the day <03117> that I shall visit <06485> (8800) the transgressions <06588> of Israel <03478> upon him I will also visit <06485> (8804) the altars <04196> of Bethel <01008>: and the horns <07161> of the altar <04196> shall be cut off <01438> (8738), and fall <05307> (8804) to the ground <0776>.
15 And I will smite <05221> (8689) the winter <02779> house <01004> with the summer <07019> house <01004> ; and the houses <01004> of ivory <08127> shall perish <06> (8804), and the great <07227> houses <01004> shall have an end <05486> (8804), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
