1. Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O sons 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 visit all your iniquities against you.
3. Can two walk together except they be agreed?
4. Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he has taken nothing?
5. Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth without a fowler? Shall the snare rise up from the earth and have taken nothing at all?
6. Shall the shofar be blown in the city and the people not be afraid? Shall there be any evil in the city which the Lord has not done?
7. Because the Lord GOD will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his slaves the prophets.
