12 This is what the Lord says:
    Just as a shepherd rescues two legs or a tip of an ear
    from the mouth of a lion,
    so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be rescued
    with only a corner of a bed or a piece of cloth[a] from a couch.

13 Listen and testify against the house of Jacob,
    declares the Lord God, the God of Armies.
14 Indeed, on the day when I punish the rebellious deeds of Israel,
    I will punish the altars of Bethel.
    The horns of the altar will be cut off,
    and they will fall to the ground.
