⁸ The lion roars;
    who will not be frightened?
The Lord God has spoken;
    who will not prophesy?

⁹ Proclaim this from the
    palaces of Ashdod
    and from the palaces of the land of Egypt:
“Assemble on the hills of Samaria
    and observe the great disorders there,
    as well as the oppression in her midst.”
¹⁰ For they do not know how to do what is right,
    says the Lord,
as they store up in their palaces
    their ill-gotten gains from violence and robbery.
