This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
3 Hear this message that Yahweh has spoken against you, people of Israel, against Yakob’s descendants that I brought out of Egypt saying: 2 “I have chosen only you from all the families of the earth, therefore I’ll punish you all for all your sins.”
3:3 Cause and effect
3 Do two people walk together, without first agreeing to meet.
4 Would a lion roar in the forest when he doesn’t have any prey?
≈Would a young lion growl from his den if he’s caught nothing?
5 Would a bird fall into a trap on the ground when no bait has been put in it?
≈Would a trap just spring up from the ground when it hasn’t caught anything?
6 If a warning trumpet sounds in a city, won’t the people start to worry?
≈If disaster comes to a city, wouldn’t it be Yahweh who sent it?
7 Surely the master Yahweh wouldn’t do anything unless he first reveals his plan to his servants the prophets.
9 Proclaim this in the fortresses at Ashdod,
≈and in the strongholds in Egypt,
saying, “Assemble yourselves on Shomron’s mountains
and see what great confusion is in her,
≈and what oppression is in her.
10 Yahweh declares that they don’t know how to do right.
They store up violence and destruction in their fortresses.”
11 Therefore, this is what the master Yahweh says:
“An enemy will surround the land,
and pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.”
“Just as the shepherd rescues out of the lion’s mouth two legs only, or a piece of an ear,
≈so will the Israelis who live in Shomron be rescued with only the corner of a couch or a piece of a bed.” 13 Take notice of this and testify against Yakob’s descendants.
That is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, army commander God.
14 “On the day that I bring punishment for Israel’s sins to her, I’ll also bring punishment on the altars of Beyt-El. The altar’s horns will be cut off and fall to the ground.[ref] 15 I’ll destroy the winter house along with the summer house. The houses of ivory will perish, and the large houses will vanish.
That is Yahweh’s declaration.”
