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

11 This is what Adonay Yahweh says:

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

12 This is what Yahweh says:

As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,
    so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,
        having only a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.[a]
