Amos 3 : 1 - 11
Chapter 3
| 1 | Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
|
| 2 | "You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."
|
| 3 | Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
|
| 4 | Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
|
| 5 | Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no trap for it? Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?
|
| 6 | If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the LORD have done it?
|
| 7 | Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
|
| 8 | A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?
|
| 9 | "Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: "Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; See great tumults in her midst, And the oppressed within her.
|
| 10 | For they do not know to do right,' Says the LORD, "Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces."'
|
| 11 | Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "An adversary shall be all around the land; He shall sap your strength from you, And your palaces shall be plundered."
