1 Hear this word which Jehovah spake against you, ye sons of Israel, against all the family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 You only did I know from all the families of the earth: for this I will review over you all your iniquities. 3 Shall two go together if they met not by appointment? 4 Will the lion roar in the forest and not tearing in pieces for him? will the young lion give his voice from his cave if he took nothing? 5 Will the bird fall upon the snare of the earth and no noose for her? shall a snare be brought up from the earth and a taking shall not be taken? 6 If the trumpet shall be struck in the city and the people not be terrified? if evil shall be in the city and Jehovah did not? 7 For the Lord Jehovah will not do a word but he will uncover his secret to his servants the prophets.
