1. Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole clan that I brought up from the land of Egypt:
2. “You only have I chosen of all the clans of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3. Do two walk together unless they have met?
4. Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a fierce, young lion cry out from his den unless he has caught something?
5. Does a bird fall into a trapping net on the earth when there is no snare for it? Does a trapping net spring up from the ground unless it has certainly caught something?
6. Or is a horn blown in a city and people are not afraid? Or does a disaster occur in the city and Yahweh has not done it?
