1. Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
2. “I have only chosen you of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.”
3. Do two walk together, unless they have agreed?
4. Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
5. Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
6. Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn’t done it?
