1 People of Israel, listen to this message which the Lord has spoken about you, the entire nation that he brought out of Egypt:
2 “Of all the nations on earth, you are the only one I have known and cared for. That is what makes your sins so terrible, and that is why I must punish you for them.”
3 Do two people start travelling together without arranging to meet?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest unless he has found a victim?Does a young lion growl in his den unless he has caught something?
