- Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
- Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
- The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
- Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
- For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

- When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
- Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
- The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy?
- Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt: "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people."
- "They do not know how to do right," declares the LORD, "who hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses."
