CAP. III.
1 Sonys of Yrael, heer &yogh;e the word that
the Lord spac on &yogh;ou, on al the kynred,
-- --
whiche Y ledde out of the lond of Egypt,
sayinge,
2 Oonly &yogh;ou Y knew of alle kynredis
of erthe; therfore Y shal visite on
&yogh;ou alle &yogh;our wickidnessis.
3 Wher two
shuln go to gydre, no but it shal accorde
to hem?
4 Wher a lyoun shal rore in
the wijld wode, no bot he shal haue
pray? Wher the whelp of a lyoun shal
&yogh;eue voice of his couche, no bot he shal
cacche sum thing?
5 Wher a brid shal
falle in to grane of erthe, with outen a
fouler? Wher a gnare shal be taken awey
fro erthe, before it shal take sum thing?
6 &YOGH;if a trumpe shal sowne in a cytee, and
the peple shal not dreede? &YOGH;if there be
yuel in the citee, whiche the Lord shal
not do?
7 For the Lord God shal not do
a word, no bot he shal shewe his preuyte
to his seruauntis prophetis.
8 A lyoun shal
rore, who shal not dreede? the Lord God
spac, who shal not prophecie?
9 Make &yogh;e
herd in the housis of Azotus, and in the
housis of the lond of Egypt; and saye &yogh;e,
Be &yogh;e gadrid on the hillis of Samarye,
and see many woodnessis in the mydil
therof, and men suffrynge fals chalenge
in priuy chaumbris therof.
10 And thei
couthen not do ri&yogh;t thing, saith the Lord,
tresourynge wickidnesse and raueyn in
her housis.
11 Therfore these thingus saith
the Lord God, The lond shal be in tribulacioun,
and shal be cumpasid; and thi
strengthe shal be drawen awey fro thee,
and thin housis shuln be robbid.
12 These
thingus saith the Lord, Hou &yogh;if a sheperd
delyuere two hypis, or the last thing of
a litil ere of the lyouns mouthe, so the
sonys of Yrael shuln be delyuered, that
dwellen in Samarie, in plage, or wound,
of the litil bed, and in the lappe of
Damaske.
13 Heere &yogh;e, and witnesse &yogh;e to
gidre in the hous of Jacob, saith the
Lord God of oostis.
14 For in the day,
whanne Y shal bygynne for to visite the
trespassis of Yrael on hym, Y shal visite
and on the auters of Bethel; and the corners
-- --
of the auters shuln be kitte of, and
shuln falle in to erthe.
15 And Y shal
smyte the wyntyr hous with the somer
hous, and the housis of yuer shuln perishe,
and many housis shuln be distruyed,
saith the Lord.
