10 “The people don’t know how to do what is right,” says the Lord.
    “Their strong cities are filled with treasures they took by force from others.”

11 So this is what the Lord God says:

“An enemy will take over the land.
    He will pull down your strong towers.
    He will take the treasures you hid in your strong cities.”

12 This is what the Lord says:

“A shepherd might save from a lion’s mouth
    only two leg bones or a scrap of an ear of his sheep.
In the same way only a few Israelites will be saved.
    These people now sit on their beds in Samaria.
    They sit on their couches.”
