Chap. III. For their manifold sinnes, al the twelue tribes shal be sore plaged. 11. and made captiues.

1   Heare the word, that our Lord hath spoken vpon you, ye children of Israel: vpon al note the kindred that I brougt forth out of the Land of Ægypt, saying:

2   Onlie you haue I knowen of al the kindreds of the earth: therfore wil I visite vpon you al your iniquities.

3    noteWhy shal two walke together, vnles they be agreed?

4   Wil the lion roare in the forrest, vnles he haue a praye? wil the lions whelpe geue voice out of his denne, vnles he hath caught somewhat?

5   wil the bird fal into the snare of the earth, without the sowler? Shal the snare be taken away from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat?

6   Shal the trumpet sound in the citie, and wil not the people be afrayd? Shal there be note euil in the citie, which our Lord hath not done?

7   Because our Lord God wil not doe a word, vnles he haue reueled his secret to his seruants the prophets.

8   The lion shal roare, who wil not feare? Our Lord God hath spoken, who shal not prophecie?

9   Make it heard in the houses of Azotus, and in the houses of the Land of Ægypt: and say: Gather ye together vpon the mountaines of Samaria, and see the manie madnesses in the midddes therof, and them that suffer calumnie in the inner parts therof.

10   And they haue not knowne to doe right, sayth our Lord, treasuring vp iniquitie, and robberies in their houses.

11   Therfore thus sayth our Lord God: The land shal be in tribulation, & compassed about: and thy strength shal be plucked away from thee, and thy houses shal be spoyled.

12   Thus sayth our Lord: As if a pastour should get out of the lions mouth two legges, or the tippe of the eare: so shal the children of Israel, that dwel in Samaria, be deliuered, in the plague of the bed, and in the couche of Damascus.

13   Heare ye, and contest in the house of Iacob, sayth our Lord the God of hosts:

14   That in the day when I shal begin to visite the preuarications of Israel, I wil visite vpon him, and vpon

-- --

the altars of Bethel: and note the hornes of the altar shal be cut of, and shal fal to the ground.

15   And I wil strike the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of yuorie shal perish, and manie houses shal be dissipated, sayth our Lord.
