1 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you – against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:
2 ‘You only have I chosenof all the families of the earth;therefore I will punish youfor all your sins.’
3 Do two walk togetherunless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar in the thicketwhen it has no prey?Does it growl in its denwhen it has caught nothing?
