11. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary! --even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be pillaged.
12. Thus saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask of a bed.
13. Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts,
14. that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
15. And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah.
