3Amos 3

1Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:Select Amos 3:1

2You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.Select Amos 3:2

3Will two walk together, except they have agreed?Select Amos 3:3

4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have taken nothing?Select Amos 3:4

5Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?Select Amos 3:5

6Shall the horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?Select Amos 3:6

7For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.Select Amos 3:7

8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?Select Amos 3:8

9Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst thereof.'Select Amos 3:9

10For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.Select Amos 3:10

11Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.Select Amos 3:11

12Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.Select Amos 3:12

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

14For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.Select Amos 3:14

15And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.Select Amos 3:15
