10 Those who collect profits in their palacesthrough violent and destructive actsdon’t know how to do what is right, declares the Lord.
11 This is what the Almighty Lord says:An enemy will surround your land,strip you of your defenses,and loot your palaces.
12 This is what the Lord says:As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,⌊having only⌋ a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.
13 Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob,declares the Almighty Lord, the God of Armies.
14 On the day I punish Israel for its disobedience,I will also destroy the altars at Bethel.The horns of the altar will be cut off and will fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down winter houses as well as summer houses.Houses ⌊decorated⌋ with ivory will be destroyed.Mansions will be demolished, declares the Lord.
