If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear? If disaster overtakes a city, is the Lord not responsible?

A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The sovereign Lord has spoken! Who can refuse to prophesy?

Bravehearted warriors will run away naked in that day.” The Lord is speaking!

Seek the Lord so you can live! Otherwise he will break out like fire against Joseph’s family; the fire will consume and no one will be able to quench it and save Bethel.

Woe to those who live in ease in Zion, to those who feel secure on Mount Samaria. They think of themselves as the elite class of the best nation. The family of Israel looks to them for leadership.

Because of this the earth will quake, and all who live in it will mourn. The whole earth will rise like the River Nile, it will surge upward and then grow calm, like the Nile in Egypt.
