11 Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh,

“An (A)adversary, even one surrounding the land,
Will pull down your [a]strength from you,
And your (B)citadels will be plundered.”

“Just as the shepherd (C)delivers from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel inhabiting Samaria be delivered—
With the (D)corner of a bed and the [b](E)cover of a couch!
13 Hear and (F)testify against the house of Jacob,”
Declares Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts.
