1. People of Israel, listen to this message! This is what the Lord said about you, Israel. This message is about all the families that I brought from the land of Egypt.
2. “There are many families on earth, but you are the only family I chose to know in a special way. And you turned against me, so I will punish you for all your sins.”
3. Two people will not walk together unless they have agreed to do so.
4. A lion will roar in the forest only if it catches its prey. A young lion roaring in his cave means he has caught something to eat.
5. A bird doesn’t fly into a trap unless there is food in it. If a trap closes, it will catch the bird.
6. If people hear the warning blast of a trumpet, they shake with fear. If trouble comes to a city, the Lord caused it to happen.
