1 Hear this word which the Lord has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire family which He brought up from the land of Egypt:
2 "You only have I chosen among all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."
3 Do two men walk together unless they have made an 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 captured something?
5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no bait in it? Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?
6 If a trumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city has not the Lord done it?
