10 They do not know how to do what is right—oracle of the Lord—Storing up in their strongholdsviolence and destruction.
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:An enemy shall surround the land,tear down your fortresses,and pillage your strongholds.
12 Thus says the Lord:As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the liona pair of sheep’s legs or the tip of an ear,So shall the Israelites escape,those who dwell in Samaria,With the corner of a couchor a piece of a cot.
13 Hear and bear witness against the house of Jacob—an oracle of the Lord God, the God of hosts:
14 On the day when I punish Israel for its crimes,I will also punish the altars of Bethel;The horns of the altar shall be broken offand fall to the ground.
15 I will strike the winter houseand the summer house;The houses of ivory shall lie in ruin,and their many rooms shall be no more—oracle of the Lord.
