1 Ακουσατε τον λογον τουτον, τον οποιον ελαλησεν ο Κυριος εναντιον σας, υιοι Ισραηλ, εναντιον παντος του γενους, το οποιον ανεβιβασα εκ γης Αιγυπτου λεγων,

2 Εσας μονον εγνωρισα εκ παντων των γενων της γης· δια τουτο θελω σας τιμωρησει δια πασας τας ανομιας σας.

3 Δυνανται δυο να περιπατησωσιν ομου, εαν δεν ηναι συμφωνοι;

4 Θελει βρυχησει ο λεων εν τω δρυμω, εαν δεν εχη θηραν; θελει εκπεμψει την φωνην αυτου ο σκυμνος απο της κατοικιας αυτου, αν δεν επιασε τι;

5 Δυναται πτηνον να πεση εις παγιδα επι της γης, οπου δεν ειναι βροχος δι' αυτο; ηθελε σηκωθη παγις εκ της γης, χωρις να πιασθη τι;

6 Δυναται να ηχηση σαλπιγξ εν πολει και ο λαος να μη πτοηθη; δυναται να γεινη συμφορα εν πολει και ο Κυριος να μη εκαμεν αυτην;

7 Βεβαιως Κυριος ο Θεος δεν θελει καμει ουδεν, χωρις να αποκαλυψη το αποκρυφον αυτου εις τους δουλους αυτου τους προφητας.

8 Ο λεων εβρυχησε· τις δεν θελει φοβηθη; Κυριος ο Θεος ελαλησε· τις δεν θελει προφητευσει;

9 Κηρυξατε προς τα παλατια της Αζωτου και προς τα παλατια της γης της Αιγυπτου και ειπατε, Συναχθητε επι τα ορη της Σαμαρειας και ιδετε τους μεγαλους θορυβους εν μεσω αυτης και τας καταδυναστειας εν μεσω αυτης,

10 διοτι δεν εξευρουσι να πραττωσι το ορθον, λεγει Κυριος, οι θησαυριζοντες αδικιαν και αρπαγην εν τοις παλατιοις αυτων.

11 Δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εχθρος θελει περικυκλωσει την γην σου και θελει καταβαλει την ισχυν σου απο σου και τα παλατια σου θελουσι διαρπαγη.

12 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Καθως ο ποιμην αποσπα απο του στοματος του λεοντος δυο σκελη η λοβον ωτιου, ουτω θελουσιν αποσπασθη οι υιοι Ισραηλ, οι κατοικουντες εν Σαμαρεια απο της γωνιας της κλινης και εν Δαμασκω απο της στρωμνης.

13 Ακουσατε και διαμαρτυρηθητε προς τον οικον Ιακωβ, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, ο Θεος των δυναμεων,

14 οτι καθ' ην ημεραν επισκεφθω τας παραβασεις του Ισραηλ επ' αυτον, θελω επισκεφθη και τα θυσιαστηρια της Βαιθηλ, και τα κερατα του θυσιαστηριου θελουσιν εκκοπη και πεσει κατα γης.

15 Και θελω παταξει τον χειμερινον οικον μετα του θερινου οικου, και οι οικοι οι ελεφαντινοι θελουσιν απολεσθη και οι οικοι οι μεγαλοι θελουσιν αφανισθη, λεγει Κυριος.

471. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. (10:3) This symbolizes a grievous lamentation that the church was taken from Him.

That to cry aloud as when a lion roars symbolizes a grievous lamentation over the church, which was taken from Him, is apparent from the explanations in the preceding chapter, where the states of life of people in the church were examined and exposed, states that were lamentable. It is apparent also from the following declaration in this chapter, that the angel swore by Him who lives forever and ever that there should be no more time, which symbolically means that there would be no more church. And in the next chapter as well, that the beast ascending from the bottomless pit killed His two witnesses. Especially is it apparent from the fact that people do not acknowledge the Lord and turn to Him, even though He is God of heaven and earth.

A lamentation over this is what the angel's roaring like a lion symbolizes; for a lion roars when it sees its enemies and is attacked by them, and when it sees its young or its prey carried off. The same is comparatively the case with the Lord when He sees His church carried off by devils.

[2] That this is the symbolic meaning of roaring like a lion can be seen from the following passages:

As a lion roars, and a young lion over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds comes against him..., so Jehovah of Hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion... (Isaiah 31:4)

...the anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people... His roaring is like that of a lion, He roars like young lions; He growls and lays hold of the prey... (For) behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened in its ruins. (Isaiah 5:25-30)

Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His habitations. (Jeremiah 25:30)

Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem. (Joel 3:16)

I will not... destroy Ephraim... They shall go after Jehovah. He will roar like a lion, for He will roar... (Hosea 11:9-10)

A lion roars. Who does not fear? The Lord Jehovih has spoken. Who will not prophesy? (Amos 3:8)

(God) roars with His voice; He thunders with His majestic voice... (Job 37:4-5)

That roaring symbolizes a grievous lamentation is clear from the following passages:

...my bones grew old through my roaring all the day long. (Psalms 32:3)

I am feeble and worn; I have roared because of the roaring of my heart. (Psalms 38:8)

...my sighing comes before bread, and my roarings pour out like water. (Job 3:24)
