Listen to this message that the LORD has spoken against you, Israelites, against the entire clan that I brought from the land of Egypt:
I have known only you
out of all the clans of the earth;
therefore, I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Does a lion roar in the forest
when it has no prey?
Does a young lion growl from its lair
unless it has captured something?
Does a bird land in a trap on the ground
if there is no bait for it?
Does a trap spring from the ground
when it has caught nothing?
If a ram’s horn is blown in a city,
aren’t people afraid?
If a disaster occurs in a city,
hasn’t the LORD done it?
Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing
without revealing his counsel
to his servants the prophets.
Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod
and on the citadels in the land of Egypt:
Assemble on the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great turmoil in the city
and the acts of oppression within it.
The people are incapable of doing right —
this is the LORD’s declaration —
those who store up violence and destruction
in their citadels.
Therefore, the Lord GOD says:
An enemy will surround the land;
he will destroy your strongholds
and plunder your citadels.
Listen and testify against the house of Jacob —
this is the declaration of the Lord GOD,
the God of Armies.
I will punish the altars of Bethel
on the day I punish Israel for its crimes;
the horns of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
