# Chapter 3
|
|
1. Listen to this message that the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel--against the entire family I rescued from Egypt:
|
|
|
|
2. "From among all the families on the earth,
|
|
I have been intimate with you alone.
|
|
That is why I must punish you
|
|
for all your sins."Witnesses against Guilty Israel
|
|
|
|
3. Can two people walk together
|
|
without agreeing on the direction?
|
|
|
|
4. Does a lion ever roar in a thicket
|
|
without first finding a victim?
|
|
Does a young lion growl in its den
|
|
without first catching its prey?
|
|
|
|
5. Does a bird ever get caught in a trap
|
|
that has no bait?
|
|
Does a trap spring shut
|
|
when there's nothing to catch?
|
|
|
|
6. When the ram's horn blows a warning,
|
|
shouldn't the people be alarmed?
|
|
Does disaster come to a city
|
|
unless the LORD has planned it?
|
|
|
|
7. Indeed, the Sovereign LORD never does anything
|
|
until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.
|
|
|
|
8. The lion has roared--
|
|
so who isn't frightened?
|
|
The Sovereign LORD has spoken--
|
|
so who can refuse to proclaim his message?
|
|
|
|
9. Announce this to the leaders of Philistia
|
|
and to the great ones of Egypt:
|
|
"Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria,
|
|
and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel."
|
|
|
|
10. "My people have forgotten how to do right,"
|
|
says the LORD.
|
|
"Their fortresses are filled with wealth
|
|
taken by theft and violence.
|
|
|
|
11. Therefore," says the Sovereign LORD,
|
|
"an enemy is coming!
|
|
He will surround them and shatter their defenses.
|
|
Then he will plunder all their fortresses."
|
|
|
|
12. This is what the LORD says:
|
|
"A shepherd who tries to rescue a sheep from a lion's mouth
|
|
will recover only two legs or a piece of an ear.
|
|
So it will be for the Israelites in Samaria lying on luxurious beds,
|
|
and for the people of Damascus reclining on couches.
|
|
|
|
13. "Now listen to this, and announce it throughout all Israel," says the Lord, the LORD God of Heaven's Armies.
|
|
|
|
14. "On the very day I punish Israel for its sins,
|
|
I will destroy the pagan altars at Bethel.
|
|
The horns of the altar will be cut off
|
|
and fall to the ground.
|
|
|
|
15. And I will destroy the beautiful homes of the wealthy--
|
|
their winter mansions and their summer houses, too--
|
|
all their palaces filled with ivory,"
|
|
says the LORD.
