וְלֹֽא־יָדְעוּ עֲשׂוֹת־נְכֹחָה נְאֻם־יְהוָה הָאֽוֹצְרִים חָמָס וָשֹׁד בְּאַרְמְנֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם
For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
לָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צַר וּסְבִיב הָאָרֶץ וְהוֹרִד מִמֵּךְ עֻזֵּךְ וְנָבֹזּוּ אַרְמְנוֹתָֽיִךְ
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, And thy palaces shall be spoiled.
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יַצִּיל הָרֹעֶה מִפִּי הָאֲרִי שְׁתֵּי כְרָעַיִם אוֹ בְדַל־אֹזֶן כֵּן יִנָּצְלוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן בִּפְאַת מִטָּה וּבִדְמֶשֶׁק עָֽרֶשׂ
Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria Escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
שִׁמְעוּ וְהָעִידוּ בְּבֵית יַֽעֲקֹב נְאֻם־אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה אֱלֹהֵי הַצְּבָאֽוֹת
Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, Saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.
כִּי בְּיוֹם פָּקְדִי פִשְׁעֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל עָלָיו וּפָֽקַדְתִּי עַל־מִזְבְּחוֹת בֵּֽית־אֵל וְנִגְדְּעוּ קַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְנָפְלוּ לָאָֽרֶץ
For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, And the horns of the altar shall be cut off, And fall to the ground.
