6  ^mIs a trumpet blown in a city,

and the people are not afraid?

ⁿDoes disaster come to a city,

unless the Lord has done it?

7  “For the Lord God does nothing

^owithout revealing his secret

to his servants the prophets.

8  The lion has roared;

who will not fear?

^pThe Lord God has spoken;

who can but prophesy?”

9  Proclaim to the strongholds in ^qAshdod

and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,

and say, “Assemble yourselves on ^rthe mountains of Samaria,

and see the great tumults within her,

and ^sthe oppressed in her midst.”

10  “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,

^t“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”

^u“An adversary shall surround the land

and bring down¹ your defenses from you,

and ^vyour strongholds shall be plundered.”
