A lion has roared!
Who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken!
(A)Who can but prophesy?

Punishment of Israel’s Sins

“Proclaim in the palaces at [a]Ashdod,
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the [b]oppressed within her.
10 For they (B)do not know to do right,’
Says the Lord,
‘Who store up violence and [c]robbery in their palaces.’ ”
