1 Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 |You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins.| 3 Do two walk together, unless they have agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing? 5 Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch? 6 Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless the LORD has done it? 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:1-7, New Heart English Bible.
