1. Hear this word that the Lord 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 shofar alarm sound in a city,without the people being afraid?Does evil happen to a city,and the Lord hasn’t done it?
7. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing,unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
