¶ The .iij. Chapter,
¶ He reproueth the house of Israel of wyckednes.
A Heare, what the Lord speaketh vnto
you (O ye chyldr&ebar; of Israel) namely,
vnto all the trybes, wh&obar; I
brought out of Egypt, and sayde:
note you only haue I accepted fr&obar; all the generacyons
of the earth: therfore, will I viset
you in all your wickednesses. Maye twayne
walke together excepte they be agreed amonge
them selues? noteDoth a lyon roare in
the wodde, except he haue a praye? Or crieth
a lyons whelpe out of his denne, excepte he
haue gotten somthinge?
B Doth a byrde fall in
a snare vpon the earth where no fouler is?
Taketh a m&abar; his snare vp from the gro&ubar;de,
afore he catche somwhat? Crye they out Alarum
with the tr&obar;pet in the cytie, and þe; people
not afrayed? Commeth there eny plage
in a cytie without it be the Lordes doynge?
Nowe doth þe; Lorde God no maner of thinge,
but he telleth his secrete before vnto hys
seruauntes the prophetes. When a lyon roareth,
who wyll not be afrayed? Seinge then
þt; the Lorde God him selfe speaketh, &club; who
wyll not prophecy?
C Preach in the palaces at Asdod, and in þe;
palaces of the lande of Egypt, and saye: gather
you together vpon the mountaynes of
Samaria, so shall ye se greate murther and
violent oppressyon am&obar;ge th&ebar;, for why? they
regarde not þe; thinge that is ryght, sayeth þe;
Lorde: they gather together euell gott&ebar; goodes,
and laye vp robbery in their houses:
Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God.
This lande shalbe troubled and beseged rounde
about, thy strength shalbe plucte fr&obar; þe;,
and thy palaces robbed.
D Thus sayeth þe; Lorde.
lyke as an heardman taketh two legges
or a pece of an eare out of the lyons mouth:
Euen so the chyldr&ebar; of Israel (þt; dwell in Samaria,
hauynge their couches in the corner,
their beddes at Damascus, shalbe plucte awaye.
note&rhand; Heare, ∧ beare recorde in þe; house
of Iacob (sayeth þe; Lorde God of hoostes)
þt; when I begynne to vyset the wyckednesse
of Israel, I will vyset þe; aulters at Bethell
also: so that the hornes of the aulter shalbe
broken of, and fall to the grounde.
As for the wynterhouse ∧ sommerhouse
I will smyte them downe: and the houses of
yuery: yee, and many other houses shall peryshe,
and be destroyed, sayeth the Lorde.
