- Shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord.
- Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel,
- Against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
- You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
- Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
- Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
- Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?
- Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
- Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?
- Shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
- Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
- Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
- Surely the Lord God will do nothing,
- But he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
- The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
- The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
- Publish in the palaces at Ashdod,
- And in the palaces in the land of Egypt,
