3:1 ¶ Hear 8085 z8798 x853 this x2088 word 1697 that x834 the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 z8765 against x5921 you, O children 1121 of Israel, 3478 against x5921 the whole x3605 family 4940 which x834 I brought up 5927 z8689 from the land 776 x4480 of Egypt, 4714 saying, 559 z8800

3:2 You only x7535 have I known 3045 z8804 of all x4480 x3605 the families 4940 of the earth: 127 therefore x5921 x3651 I will punish 6485 z8799 x5921 you x853 for all x3605 your iniquities. 5771

3:3 Can two 8147 walk y3212 z8799 x1980 together, 3162 except 1115 x518 they be agreed? 3259 z8738

3:4 Will a lion 738 roar 7580 z8799 in the forest, 3293 when he hath no x369 prey? 2964 will a young lion 3715 cry x5414 x6963 out y5414 z8799 y6963 of his den, 4585 x4480 if x518 he have taken 3920 z8804 nothing? 1115

3:5 Can a bird 6833 fall 5307 z8799 in x5921 a snare 6341 upon the earth, 776 where no x369 gin 4170 [is] for him? shall [one] take up 5927 z8799 a snare 6341 from x4480 the earth, 127 and have taken y3920 z8799 nothing at all? 3920 z8800 x3808

3:6 Shall a trumpet 7782 be blown 8628 z8735 in the city, 5892 and the people 5971 not x3808 be afraid? 2729 z8799 shall there be x1961 evil 7451 in a city, 5892 and the LORD 3068 hath not x3808 done 6213 z8804 [it]?

3:7 Surely x3588 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 will do 6213 z8799 nothing, 1697 x3808 but x3588 x518 he revealeth 1540 z8804 his secret 5475 unto x413 his servants 5650 the prophets. 5030

3:8 The lion 738 hath roared, 7580 z8804 who x4310 will not 3808 fear? 3372 z8799 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 hath spoken, 1696 z8765 who x4310 can but x3808 prophesy? 5012 z8735

3:9 ¶ Publish 8085 z8685 in x5921 the palaces 759 at Ashdod, 795 and in x5921 the palaces 759 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 and say, 559 z8798 Assemble y622 z8734 yourselves x622 upon x5921 the mountains 2022 of Samaria, 8111 and behold 7200 z8798 the great 7227 tumults 4103 in the midst y7130 x8432 thereof, and the oppressed 6217 in the midst y8432 x7130 thereof.

3:10 For they know 3045 z8804 not x3808 to do 6213 z8800 right, 5229 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 who store y686 z8802 up x686 violence 2555 and robbery 7701 in their palaces. 759

3:11 Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the Lord 136 GOD; 3069 An adversary 6862 [there shall be] even round about 5439 the land; 776 and he shall bring down 3381 z8689 thy strength 5797 from x4480 thee, and thy palaces 759 shall be spoiled. 962 z8738

3:12 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 As x834 the shepherd 7462 z8802 taketh x5337 out y5337 z8686 of the mouth 6310 x4480 of the lion 738 two 8147 legs, 3767 or x176 a piece 915 of an ear; 241 so x3651 shall the children 1121 of Israel 3478 be taken out 5337 z8735 that dwell 3427 z8802 in Samaria 8111 in the corner 6285 of a bed, 4296 and in Damascus 1833 [in] a couch. 6210

3:13 Hear 8085 z8798 ye, and testify 5749 z8685 in the house 1004 of Jacob, 3290 saith 5002 z8803 the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 the God 430 of hosts, 6635

3:14 That x3588 in the day 3117 that I shall visit 6485 z8800 the transgressions 6588 of Israel 3478 upon x5921 him I will also visit 6485 z8804 x5921 the altars 4196 of Bethel: 1008 and the horns 7161 of the altar 4196 shall be cut off, 1438 z8738 and fall 5307 z8804 to the ground. 776

3:15 And I will smite 5221 z8689 the winter 2779 house 1004 with x5921 the summer 7019 house; 1004 and the houses 1004 of ivory 8127 shall perish, 6 z8804 and the great 7227 houses 1004 shall have an end, 5486 z8804 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068
