1Yo, listen up! God’s got some tea for you, fam of Israel, the whole crew I brought up from Egypt, saying,

2You’re the only fam I rock with, so when you mess up, it’s on you, no cap.

3Can two peeps vibe together if they ain’t on the same page?

4Will a lion just roar in the woods if he ain't got no snacks? Like, come on.

5Can a bird get caught in a trap if there ain't no bait? That’s sus, right?

6Is a trumpet gonna blow in the city and folks just chill? If bad stuff happens, you know it's God’s doing, periodt.

7For real, God ain’t gonna do anything without spilling the tea to his squad, the prophets.

8When the lion roars, who’s not gonna be shook? God’s spoken, so who can keep it quiet?

9Spread the word in Ashdod and Egypt, tell ‘em to gather on the mountains of Samaria and peep the chaos and the oppressed.

10They don’t even know how to act right, says the Lord, just stacking up violence and theft in their cribs.

11So check it, says the Lord God; there’s gonna be some drama around the land, and your strength is getting snatched, your pads are getting wrecked.

12Just like a shepherd snags two legs from a lion’s mouth, that’s how the kids of Israel in Samaria are gonna get taken out, chilling on their beds.

13Listen up and spill the tea in Jacob’s house, says the Lord God, the God of the squad.

14When I roll up to check on Israel’s mess, I’m also gonna crash the altars at Beth-el: those altar horns are getting chopped and hitting the ground.

15I’m about to wreck the winter crib with the summer spot; those ivory houses are gonna fade, and the big ones are gonna end, says the Lord.

1Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

3Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

7Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

9Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.

10For they know not to do right, saith the Lord, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

11Therefore thus saith the Lord God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

12Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.

13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord God, the God of hosts,

14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth–el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

15And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord.
