10 “The people don’t know how to do what is right,” says the Lord.
    “Their strong buildings 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
    and pull down your strongholds;
    he will take the treasures out of your strong buildings.”

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 in Samaria will be saved—
    people who now sit on their beds
    and on their couches.”
