12 This is what the Lord says:“Just as a shepherd salvages from the lion’s mouth a couple of leg bones or a piece of an ear,so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be salvaged.They will be left with just a corner of a bed, and a part of a couch.”
13 Listen and warn the family of Jacob!The sovereign Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking!
14 “Certainly when I punish Israel for their covenant transgressions,I will destroy Bethel’s altars.The horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 I will destroy both the winter and summer houses.The houses filled with ivory will be ruined,the great houses will be swept away.”The Lord is speaking!
