3:2 You only have I known 3045 8804 of all the families 4940 of the earth 127: therefore I will punish 6485 8799 you for all your iniquities 5771.(punish: Heb. visit upon)

3:3 Can two 8147 walk 3212 8799 together 3162, except 1115 they be agreed 3259 8738?

3:4 Will a lion 738 roar 7580 8799 in the forest 3293, when he hath no prey 2964? will a young lion 3715 cry out 5414 8799 6963 of his den 4585, if he have taken 3920 8804 nothing 1115?(cry: Heb. give forth his voice)

3:5 Can a bird 6833 fall 5307 8799 in a snare 6341 upon the earth 776, where no gin 4170 [is] for him? shall [one] take up 5927 8799 a snare 6341 from the earth 127, and have taken 3920 8799 nothing at all 3920 8800?

3:6 Shall a trumpet 7782 be blown 8628 8735 in the city 5892, and the people 5971 not be afraid 2729 8799? shall there be evil 7451 in a city 5892, and the LORD 3068 hath not done 6213 8804 [it]?(be afraid: or, run together? the LORD…: or, shall not the L.doe somewhat?)

3:7 Surely the Lord 136 GOD 3069 will do 6213 8799 nothing 1697, but he revealeth 1540 8804 his secret 5475 unto his servants 5650 the prophets 5030.

3:8 The lion 738 hath roared 7580 8804, who will not 3808 fear 3372 8799? the Lord 136 GOD 3069 hath spoken 1696 8765, who can but prophesy 5012 8735?

3:9 Publish 8085 8685 in the palaces 759 at Ashdod 795, and in the palaces 759 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and say 559 8798, Assemble 622 8734 yourselves upon the mountains 2022 of Samaria 8111, and behold 7200 8798 the great 7227 tumults 4103 in the midst 7130 thereof, and the oppressed 6217 in the midst 8432 thereof.(oppressed: or, oppressions)

3:10 For they know 3045 8804 not to do 6213 8800 right 5229, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, who store 686 8802 up violence 2555 and robbery 7701 in their palaces 759.(robbery: or, spoil)

3:11 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; An adversary 6862 [there shall be] even round about 5439 the land 776; and he shall bring down 3381 8689 thy strength 5797 from thee, and thy palaces 759 shall be spoiled 962 8738.

3:12 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; As the shepherd 7462 8802 taketh out 5337 8686 of the mouth 6310 of the lion 738 two 8147 legs 3767, or a piece 915 of an ear 241; so shall the children 1121 of Israel 3478 be taken out 5337 8735 that dwell 3427 8802 in Samaria 8111 in the corner 6285 of a bed 4296, and in Damascus 1833 [in] a couch 6210.(taketh: Heb. delivereth)(in Damascus…: or, on the bed's feet)

3:14 That in the day 3117 that I shall visit 6485 8800 the transgressions 6588 of Israel 3478 upon him I will also visit 6485 8804 the altars 4196 of Bethel 1008: and the horns 7161 of the altar 4196 shall be cut off 1438 8738, and fall 5307 8804 to the ground 776.(visit: or, punish Israel for)
