13. Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of Hosts:
14. Surely on the day I punish the transgressions of Israel,I will also punish the altars of Bethel;the horns of the altar will be cut offand fall to the ground.
15. I will destroy the winter houseas well as the summer house,and the houses of ivory will perish;the great houses will come to an end,says the Lord.
