1Hear the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye children of Israel: concerning the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:Select Amos 3:1

3Shall two walk together except they be agreed?Select Amos 3:3

4Will a lion roar in the forest, if he have no prey? will the lion's whelp cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?Select Amos 3:4

5Will the bird fall into the snare upon the earth, if there be no fowler? Shall the snare be taken up from the earth, before it hath taken somewhat?Select Amos 3:5

6Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done?Select Amos 3:6

13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord the God of hosts:Select Amos 3:13

15And I will strike the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of ivory shall perish, and many houses shall be destroyed, saith the Lord.Select Amos 3:15
