12 This is what Yahweh says:

As a shepherd rescues two legs or a piece of an ear out of a lion’s mouth,
    so the Israelites living in Samaria will be rescued,
        having only a corner of a bed or a piece of a couch.[a]
13 Listen, and testify against the descendants of Jacob,
    declares Adonay Yahweh Elohe Tsebaoth.
14 On the day I punish Israel for its disobedience,
    I will also destroy the altars at Bethel.
        The horns of the altar will be cut off and will fall to the ground.
