12. The Lord says:As the shepherd snatches two legsor a piece of an earfrom the lion’s mouth, so the Israelites who live in Samariawill be rescuedwith only the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch.
13. Listen and testify against the house of Jacob —this is the declaration of the Lord God,the God of Hosts.
14. I will punish the altars of Bethel on the day I punish Israel for its crimes;the horns of the altar will be cut offand fall to the ground.
15. I will demolish the winter house and the summer house; the houses inlaid with ivory will be destroyed,and the great houses will come to an end.This is the Lord’s declaration.
