12 Thus says the Lord: (A)“As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, (B)so shall the people of Israel (C)who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part[a] of a bed.

13 “Hear, (D)and testify against the house of Jacob,”
    declares the Lord God, (E)the God of hosts,
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
    (F)I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and (G)the horns of the altar shall be cut off
    and fall to the ground.
