Amos 3:1-7 ▼

1 Hear this word which the LORD has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire family which He brought up from the land of Egypt:

2 “You only have I known among all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your wrongdoing.”

3 Do two people walk together unless they have agreed to meet?

4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has captured something?

5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no device in it? Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?

6 If a trumpet is blown in a city, will the people not tremble? If a disaster occurs in a city, has the LORD not brought it about?

7 Certainly the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret plan To His servants the prophets.
