12 The Lord says,

“Suppose a shepherd saves only two leg bones
    from a lion’s mouth.
Or he might save only a piece of an ear.
    That is how the Israelites living in Samaria will be saved.
They will only have a board
    from a bed
and a piece of cloth
    from a couch.”

13 “Listen to me,” announces the Lord. “Be a witness against the people of Jacob,” says the Lord God who rules over all.

14 “I will punish Israel for their sins.
    When I do, I will destroy their altars at Bethel.
The horns that stick out from the upper corners
    of their main altar will be cut off.
    They will fall to the ground.
