Amos 3:1-7 ▼

1 Listen to this message that the LORD has spoken against you, Israelites , against the entire clan that I brought from the land of Egypt:

2 I have known only you out of all the clans of the earth; therefore , I will punish you for all your iniquities.

3 Can two walk together without agreeing to meet ?

4 Does a lion roar in the forest when it has no prey ? Does a young lion growl from its lair unless it has captured something?

5 Does a bird land in a trap on the ground if there is no bait for it ? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has caught nothing ?

6 If a ram’s horn is blown in a city, aren’t people afraid? If a disaster occurs in a city, hasn’t the LORD done it?

7 Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His counsel to His servants the prophets.
