12 Thus says the Lord:“As a shepherd takes from the mouth of a lionTwo legs or a piece of an ear,So shall the children of Israel be taken outWho dwell in Samaria—In the corner of a bed and on the edge of a couch!
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”Says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14 “That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,I will also visit destruction on the altars of Bethel;And the horns of the altar shall be cut offAnd fall to the ground.
15 I will destroy the winter house along with the summer house;The houses of ivory shall perish,And the great houses shall have an end,”Says the Lord.
