1. Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2. You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
3. Shall two walk together, except they have 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 set for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
6. Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?
7. Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.
