8. The lion has roared,who would not fear?The Lord God has spoken,who would not prophesy?
9. Proclaim this in the strongholds of Assyria,in the strongholds of the land of Egypt:“Gather on the mount of Samaria,and see the great disorders within it,the oppressions within its midst.”
10. They do not know how to do what is right—oracle of the Lord—Storing up in their strongholdsviolence and destruction.
11. Therefore thus says the Lord God:An enemy shall surround the land,tear down your fortresses,and pillage your strongholds.
