Amos 3: 1 - 8
|
| 1
|
Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
|
| 2
|
"You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
|
| 3
|
"Do two walk together, unless they have made an appointment?
|
| 4
|
Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?
|
| 5
|
Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth, when there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when it has taken nothing?
|
| 6
|
Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does evil befall a city, unless the LORD has done it?
|
| 7
|
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
|
| 8
|
The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken; who can but prophesy?"
