10 Those who collect profits in their palaces
through violent and destructive acts
don’t know how to do what is right, declares the Lord.

11 This is what the Almighty Lord says:

An enemy will surround your land,
strip you of your defenses,
and loot your palaces.

12 This is what the Lord says:

so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,
⌞having only⌟ a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.[a]
