5. Can a bird[H6833] fall[H5307] in a snare[H6341] upon the earth[H776], where no gin[H4170] is set for him[H6341]? shall a snare spring up[H5927] from the ground[H127], and have taken[H3920] nothing at all[H3920]?

6. Shall the trumpet[H7782] be blown[H8628] in a city[H5892], and the people[H5971] not be afraid[H2729]? shall evil[H7451] befall a city[H5892], and Jehovah[H3068] hath not done it[H6213]?

8. The lion[H738] hath roared[H7580]; who will not[H3808] fear[H3372]? The Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069] hath spoken[H1696]; who can but prophesy[H5012]?

9. Publish[H8085] ye in the palaces[H759] at Ashdod[H795], and in the palaces[H759] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and say[H559], Assemble[H622] yourselves upon the mountains[H2022] of Samaria[H8111], and behold[H7200] what great[H7227] tumults[H4103] are therein[H7130], and what oppressions[H6217] in the midst thereof[H7130].

12. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: As the shepherd[H7462] rescueth out[H5337] of the mouth[H6310] of the lion[H738] two[H8147] legs[H3767], or a piece[H915] of an ear[H241], so shall the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] be rescued[H5337] that sit[H3427] in Samaria[H8111] in the corner[H6285] of a couch[H4296], and on the silken cushions[H1833] of a bed[H4296].

14. For in the day[H3117] that I shall visit[H6485] the transgressions[H6588] of Israel[H3478] upon him[H6485], I will also visit the altars[H4196] of Beth-el[H1008]; and the horns[H7161] of the altar[H4196] shall be cut off[H1438], and fall[H5307] to the ground[H776].

15. And I will smite[H5221] the winter[H2779] - house[H1004] with the summer[H7019] - house[H1004]; and the houses[H1004] of ivory[H8127] shall perish[H6], and the great[H7227] houses[H1004] shall have an end[H5486], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068].
