10 They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,storing up violence and destruction in their fortresses.
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God: An enemy will surround your land;he will tear down your defenses,and your fortresses will be plundered.
12 Thus says the Lord: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the liona pair of legs or a piece of an ear,so will the children of Israel be rescued,those who live in Samaria,with the corner of a bedor a piece of a couch.
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of Hosts:
14 Surely on the day I punish the transgressions of Israel,I will also punish the altars of Bethel;the horns of the altar will be cut offand fall to the ground.
15 I will destroy the winter houseas well as the summer house,and the houses of ivory will perish;the great houses will come to an end,says the Lord.
