1. Hear this word that Adonai has spoken against you, Bnei Yisrael, against the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
2. “Only you have I known from among all the families of the earth. Therefore, I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3. Can two walk together unless they meet by appointment?
4. Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has taken prey?
5. Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground if it has no bait? Will a snare spring up from the ground without taking anything?
6. If a shofar alarm sounds in a city, will people not tremble? If there is calamity in a city, has not Adonai caused it?
7. For the Lord Adonai, will do nothing, unless He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets.
8. A lion has roared, who will not fear? My Lord Adonai has spoken, who shall not prophesy?
