8The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken; who can but prophesy?
9Publish you in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst of it.
10For they don`t know to do right, says Yahweh, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
11Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: An adversary [there shall be], even round about the land; and he shall bring down your strength from you, and your palaces shall be plundered.
12Thus says Yahweh: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.
13Hear you, and testify against the house of Jacob, says the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts.
