1. Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2. You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities.
3. Shall two walk together except they be agreed?
4. Will a lion roar in the forest when he hath no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he have taken nothing?
5. Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth when no gin is laid for him? Will the snare spring up from the earth when nothing at all hath been taken?
6. Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and Jehovah not have done it?
7. But the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
