you, O sons
of Israel, concerning

the family that I brought up from

Proclaim
to
the
citadels
of
Ashdod and to the citadels
of Egypt: “Assemble
on the
mountains of Samaria ;
see the
great
unrest
in
the
city
and the
acts
of
oppression
in her midst. ”
Sound
ye
unto
palaces
in
Ashdod ,
And to palaces
in
the land
of Egypt ,
and
say
: Be
ye
gathered
on mountains of Samaria ,
And
see many
troubles
within
her,
And oppressed
ones
in her midst.
“For
they know
not how
to do
right
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
“They
store
up violence and destruction
in their citadels
. ”

up violence and spoil
in their palaces
.

what
the Lord GOD
says
: “
An enemy
will
surround
the land ;
he will
pull
down your
strongholds
and plunder
your
citadels
. ”
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: An adversary
--
and
surrounding
the land ,
And
he hath
brought
down from
thee
thy
strength,
And spoiled
have
been
thy
palaces
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
As the shepherd snatches
from the mouth of
the
lion
two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites
dwelling
in Samaria will
be
rescued
having
just
the corner of a bed or
the
cushion
of a couch.
Thus
said
Jehovah
: As the shepherd delivereth
from the lion's
mouth Two legs ,
or a piece of an ear, So delivered
are
the sons
of
Israel,
Who
are
sitting
in Samaria on
the corner of a bed ,
And
in
Damascus
`on
that
of '
a couch.

On
the day I
punish
Israel
for
their
transgressions, I will
visit
destruction
on the altars of Bethel;
the horns of the altar will
be
cut
off
, and they will
fall
to the ground
.
For
in
the day of
My
charging
the
transgressions of
Israel
on
him
, I have
laid
a
charge
on the altars of Beth-El,
And
cut
off
have
been
the horns of the altar, And they have
fallen
to the earth
.
I will
tear
down
the winter house along
with the summer house ;
the
houses of ivory will
also
perish
, and the
great
houses will
come
to
an
end
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
And
I have
smitten
the winter -
house with the summer -
house ,
And
perished
have
houses of ivory, And consumed
have
been
many
houses, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!
