Amos 3 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Amo 3:1

Amo 3:1Hear ye this word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:

Amo 3:2

Amo 3:2Only you I have known of all families of the land, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.

Amo 3:3

Amo 3:3Do two walk together if they have not met?

Amo 3:4

Amo 3:4Roar doth a lion in a forest and prey he hath none? Give out doth a young lion his voice from his habitation, If he hath not caught?

Amo 3:5

Amo 3:5Doth a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no gin for it? Doth a snare go up from the ground, And prey it captureth not?

Amo 3:6

Amo 3:6Is a trumpet blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And Jehovah hath not done it?

Amo 3:7

Amo 3:7For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

Amo 3:8

Amo 3:8A lion hath roared -- who doth not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken -- who doth not prophesy?

Amo 3:9

Amo 3:9Sound ye unto palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be ye gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.

Amo 3:10

Amo 3:10And they have not known to act straightforwardly, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces.

Amo 3:11

Amo 3:11Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: An adversary -- and surrounding the land, And he hath brought down from thee thy strength, And spoiled have been thy palaces.

Amo 3:12

Amo 3:12Thus said Jehovah: As the shepherd delivereth from the lion's mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So delivered are the sons of Israel, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus on that of a couch.

Amo 3:13

Amo 3:13Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts.

Amo 3:14

Amo 3:14For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And cut off have been the horns of the altar, And they have fallen to the earth.

Amo 3:15

Amo 3:15And I have smitten the winter-house with the summer-house, And perished have houses of ivory, And consumed have been many houses, An affirmation of Jehovah!
