1 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, |
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. |
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? |
4 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? |
5 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? |
6 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? |
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. |
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? |
