1. Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
2. “I have only chosen you of all the families of the earth.Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
3. Do two walk together,unless they have agreed?
4. Will a lion roar in the thicket,when he has no prey?Does a young lion cry out of his den,if he has caught nothing?
5. Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth,where no snare is set for him?Does a snare spring up from the ground,when there is nothing to catch?
6. Does the shofar alarm sound in a city,without the people being afraid?Does evil happen to a city,and the Lord hasn’t done it?
7. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing,unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
8. The lion has roared.Who will not fear?The Lord GOD has spoken.Who can but prophesy?
