    “Proclaim in the palaces at [d]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 [e]oppressed within her.
  • Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great uproar in the midst thereof, and the oppressions that are within her:
  • For they do not know to do right,’
    Says the Lord,
    ‘Who store up violence and [f]robbery in their palaces.’ ”
  • and they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and plunder in their palaces.
  • Therefore thus says the Lord God:
    “An adversary shall be all around the land;
    He shall sap your strength from you,
    And your palaces shall be plundered.”
  • Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary! -- even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be pillaged.

    In the corner of a bed and [h]on the edge of a couch!
  • Thus saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask of a bed.

  • “That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,
    I will also visit destruction on the altars of Bethel;
    And the horns of the altar shall be cut off
    And fall to the ground.

    The houses of ivory shall perish,
    And the great houses shall have an end,”
    Says the Lord.
