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

Amo 3:4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he hath taken nothing?
Amo 3:5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Amo 3:6Shalt a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Amo 3:7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret to his servants the prophets.
Amo 3:8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Amo 3:10For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Amo 3:11Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even around the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered.
Amo 3:12Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
Amo 3:13Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
Amo 3:14That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
Amo 3:15And 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.
