¶ He reproueth the house of Israel of wychednes.

CAPI. III.

HEare, what the Lorde speaketh vnto [unspec A] you (O ye chyldren of Israel) namely / vnto all the trybes, whom I brought out of Egypt / & sayde: * 1.1 you onely haue I accepted from al the generaciōs of the earth: therfore wyll I viset you in all youre wyckednesses. May twayne walke together except they be agreed amonge themselues? Doth a Lyon* 1.2 roare in the wod / except he haue a pray? Or crieth a liōs whelpe out of his denne, except he haue gotten some thynge? Dothe a byrde [unspec B] fall in a snare vpō the earth where no fouler is? Taketh a mā his snare vp frō the groūde afore he catche somwhat? Cry they out Ala∣rū with y^• trōpet in the cyte, & the people not afrayed? Commeth there any plage in a cite without it be the Lordes doyng? Now doth the Lorde God no maner of thynge / but he telleth his secrete before vnto hys seruaun∣tes the prophetes. Whē a lyon roareth, who wyll not be afrayed? Seynge then that the Lorde God hym selfe speaketh, •• who wyll not prophecy?

Preache in the palaces at Asdod, and in [unspec C] the palaces of the lande of Egypte, & say: ga¦ther you together vpon the mountaynes of Samaria, so shall ye se great murthur and vyolent oppressyon amonge them / for why? they regarde not the thynge that is ryght / sayeth the Lorde: they gather together euyl gotten goodes, and lay vp robbery in theyr houses.

Therfore / thus sayeth the Lorde God: This lande shalbe troubled & beseged roūde aboute / thy strength shalbe plucte frome the [unspec D] and thy palaces robbed. Thus sayeth the Lorde: lyke as an herdman taketh two leg∣ges or a pece of an eare out of the liōs mouth Euen so the children of Israel (that dwel in Samaria / hauyng theyr couches in the cor¦ner / and their beddes at Damscus) shalbe plucte awaye. ‡ 1.3 ☞ Heare / & beare recorde in the house of Iacob (sayeth y^• Lord God of hoostes) that when I begynne to vyset the wyckednesse of Israel / I wyll vyset the aul¦ters at Bethell also: so that the hornes of the aulter shalbe broken of / and fall to the grounde.

As for the wynterhouse & sommer house I wyl smyte them downe: and the houses of yuery: yee, and many other houses shall pe∣rysh, and be destroyed, sayeth the Lorde.
