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 except [obj] you to know from all family [the] land: planet upon so to reckon: punish upon you [obj] all iniquity: crime your

"You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins."

Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?

4 to roar lion in/on/with wood and prey nothing to/for him to give: cry out lion voice his from habitation his lest if: until to capture

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 to fall: fall bird upon snare [the] land: country/planet and snare nothing to/for her to ascend: rise snare from [the] land: soil and to capture not to capture

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 if: surely yes to blow trumpet in/on/with city and people not to tremble if: until to be distress: harm in/on/with city and LORD not to make: do

Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless the LORD has done it?

7 for not to make: do Lord YHWH/God word: thing that if: except if: except to reveal: reveal counsel his to(wards) servant/slave his [the] prophet

Surely the LORD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.

8 lion to roar who? not to fear Lord YHWH/God to speak: speak who? not to prophesy

The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The LORD has spoken. Who can but prophesy?

Thus says the LORD: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."

"Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says the LORD, the God of hosts.
