Chapter 3

1 Hear8085 this2088 word1697 that the LORD3068 has spoken1696 against5921 you, O children1121 of Israel,3478 against5921 the whole3605 family4940 which834 I brought5927 up from the land776 of Egypt,4714 saying,559

2 You only7535 have I known3045 of all3605 the families4940 of the earth:127 therefore5921 3651 I will punish6485 you for all3605 your iniquities.5771

3 Can two8147 walk3212 together,3162 except1115 they be agreed?3259

4 Will a lion738 roar7580 in the forest,3293 when he has no369 prey?2964 will a young3715 lion3715 cry5414 6963 out of his den,4585 if518 he have taken3920 nothing?1115

5 Can a bird6833 fall5307 in a snare6341 on the earth,776 where no369 gin4170 is for him? shall one take5927 up a snare6341 from the earth,127 and have taken3947 nothing3808 at all?

6 Shall a trumpet7782 be blown8628 in the city,5892 and the people5971 not be afraid?2729 shall there be evil7451 in a city,5892 and the LORD3068 has not done6213 it?

7 Surely3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 will do6213 nothing,3808 1697 but he reveals1540 his secret5475 to his servants5650 the prophets.5030

8 The lion738 has roared,7580 who4310 will not fear?3372 the Lord136 GOD3069 has spoken,1696 who4310 can but prophesy?5012

9 Publish8085 in the palaces759 at Ashdod,795 and in the palaces759 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and say,559 Assemble622 yourselves on the mountains2022 of Samaria,8111 and behold7200 the great7227 tumults4103 in the middle7130 thereof, and the oppressed6217 in the middle8432 thereof.

10 For they know3045 not to do6213 right,5229 said5002 the LORD,3068 who store686 up violence2555 and robbery7701 in their palaces.759

11 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 An adversary6862 there shall be even round5439 about the land;776 and he shall bring3381 down3381 your strength5797 from you, and your palaces759 shall be spoiled.962

12 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 As the shepherd7462 takes5337 out of the mouth6310 of the lion738 two8147 legs,3767 or176 a piece915 of an ear;241 so3651 shall the children1121 of Israel3478 be taken5337 out that dwell3427 in Samaria8111 in the corner6285 of a bed,4296 and in Damascus1833 in a couch.6210

13 Hear8085 you, and testify5749 in the house1004 of Jacob,3290 said5001 the Lord136 GOD,3069 the God430 of hosts,6635

14 That in the day3117 that I shall visit6485 the transgressions6588 of Israel3478 on him I will also visit6485 the altars4196 of Bethel:1008 and the horns7161 of the altar4196 shall be cut1438 off, and fall5307 to the ground.776

15 And I will smite5221 the winter2779 house1004 with the summer7019 house;1004 and the houses1004 of ivory8127 shall perish,6 and the great7227 houses1004 shall have an end,5486 said5001 the LORD.3068

Amos

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 peoples and of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

3 Will two men go on a journey together unless they have made an appointment?

4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Or does a lion cry out of his den if he has taken no prey?

5 Will a bird fall into a snare upon the earth without a hunter? Or can a trap spring up from the ground and catch the prey without being set?

6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people be not afraid? Or shall there be misfortune in a city and the LORD has not 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?

9 Proclaim it in the palaces of Ashdod and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountain of Samaria, and see the great tumults in the midst thereof and the oppression which is in it.

10 For they do not know how to reprove, says the LORD, but they store up plunder and spoil in their palaces.

11 Therefore thus says the LORD: A calamity shall surround the land; and its strength shall be brought down, and its palaces shall be spoiled.

12 Thus says the LORD: As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be delivered who dwell in Samaria, along with the people who dwell in Damascus, by a staff that strikes suddenly.

13 Hear, and testify in the house of Jacob, says the LORD God, the God of hosts of Israel,

14 That in the day that I punish the transgressions of Israel I will also punish the altars of Beth-el; and the horns of the altars shall be cut off and fall to the ground.

15 And I will destroy the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and great houses shall be demolished, says the LORD.
