Amos 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“You only ^H7534 have I [fn]known ^H3045 among ^H4480 all ^H3605 the families ^H4940 of the earth ^H127;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I will [fn]punish ^H6485 you for all ^H3605 your wrongdoing ^H5771.”

Do two ^H8147 people walk ^H1980 together ^H3162 unless ^H1115 they have agreed ^H3259 to ^H3259 meet ^H3259?

Does a lion ^H738 roar ^H7580 in the forest ^H3293 when he has ^H369 no ^H369 prey ^H2964?

Does a young ^H3715 lion ^H3715 [fn]growl ^H5414 H6963 from his den ^H4585 unless ^H1115 H518 he has captured ^H3920 something?

Does a bird ^H6833 fall ^H5307 into a trap ^H6341 on the ground ^H776 when there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 [fn]device ^H4170 in it?

Does a trap ^H6341 spring ^H5927 up ^H5927 from the earth ^H127 when it captures ^H3920 nothing ^H3808 at ^H3920 all ^H3920?

If ^H518 a trumpet ^H7782 is blown ^H8628 in a city ^H5892, will the people ^H5971 not tremble ^H2729?

If ^H518 a disaster ^H7451 occurs ^H1961 in a city ^H5892, has the LORD ^H3068 not brought ^H6213 it about ^H6213?

[fn]Certainly ^H3588 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 does ^H6213 nothing ^H3808 H1697

Unless ^H3588 H518 He reveals ^H1540 His secret ^H5475 plan ^H5475

To His servants ^H5650 the prophets ^H5030.

A lion ^H738 has roared ^H7580! Who ^H4310 will not fear ^H3372?

The Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 has spoken ^H1696! Who ^H4310 can do anything but prophesy ^H5012?

Proclaim ^H8085 on the citadels ^H759 in Ashdod ^H795 and on the citadels ^H759 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 and say ^H559, “Assemble ^H622 yourselves on the mountains ^H2022 of Samaria ^H8111 and see ^H7200 the great ^H7227 panic ^H4103 within ^H8432 her and the oppressions ^H6217 in her midst ^H7130.

Therefore ^H3651, this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“An enemy ^H6862, one ^H5439 surrounding ^H5439 the land ^H776,

Will take ^H3381 down ^H3381 your fortifications ^H5797 from you,

And your citadels ^H759 will be looted ^H962.”

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Just ^H834 as ^H834 the shepherd ^H7462 [fn]snatches ^H5337 from the lion’s ^H738 mouth ^H6310 a couple ^H8147 of legs ^H3767 or ^H176 a piece ^H915 of an ear ^H241,

So ^H3651 will the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 living ^H3427 in Samaria ^H8111 be [fn]snatched ^H5337 away ^H5337—

With the corner ^H6285 of a bed ^H4296 and the [fn]cover ^H1833 of a couch ^H6210!

“Hear ^H8085 and testify ^H5749 against the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290,”

Declares ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068, the God ^H430 of armies ^H6635.

“For on the day ^H3117 that I punish ^H6485 Israel’s ^H3478 offenses ^H6588,

I will also punish ^H6485 the altars ^H4196 of Bethel ^H1008;

The horns ^H7161 of the altar ^H4196 will be cut ^H1438 off ^H1438,

And will fall ^H5307 to the ground ^H776.

“I will also strike ^H5221 the winter ^H2779 house ^H1004 together ^H5921 with the summer ^H7019 house ^H1004;

The houses ^H1004 of [fn]ivory ^H8127 will also perish ^H6,

And the great ^H7227 houses ^H1004 will come ^H5486 to ^H5486 an ^H5486 end ^H5486,”

Declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.
