5Does a birdH6833 fallH5307 into a trapH6341 on the groundH776 when thereH369 is noH369 1baitH4170 in it? Does a trapH6341 springH5927 up from the earthH127 when it capturesH3920 nothingH3808 at allH3920?6IfH518 a 2trumpetH7782 is blownH8628 in a cityH5892 will not the peopleH5971 trembleH2729? IfH518 a 3calamityH7463 occursH1961 in a cityH5892 has not the LordH3068 doneH6213 it?74SurelyH3588 the LordH136 5GodH3068 doesH6213 nothingH3808H1697 UnlessH3588H518 He 6revealsH1540 His secretH5475 counselH5475 To His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.8A 7lionH743 has roaredH7580! WhoH4310 will not fearH3372? The 8LordH136 9GodH3068 has spokenH1696! 10WhoH4310 can but prophesyH5012?
9ProclaimH8085 on the citadelsH759 in 11AshdodH795 and on the citadelsH759 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and sayH559, “AssembleH622 yourselves on the 12mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111 and seeH7200 the greatH7227 tumultsH4103 withinH8432 her and the 13oppressionsH6217 in her midstH7130. 10But they 14do not knowH3045 how to doH6213 whatH5228 is rightH5228,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “these who 15hoardH686 up 16violenceH2555 and devastationH7701 in their citadelsH759.”
11ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “An 17enemyH6862, even oneH5439 surroundingH5439 the landH776, Will pullH3381 downH3381 your 18strengthH5797 from you And your 19citadelsH759 will be lootedH962.” 12ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “JustH3512 as the shepherdH7462 2021snatchesH5337 from the lion’sH738 mouthH6310 a coupleH8147 of legsH3767 orH176 a pieceH915 of an earH241, SoH3651 will the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 dwellingH3427 in SamariaH8111 be 22snatchedH5337 awayH5337-- With the 23cornerH6285 of a bedH4296 and the 2425coverH1833 of a couchH6210!
