1 Heare this worde that the Lord pronounceth against you O children of Israel euen against the whole familie whiche I brought vp from the lande of Egypt, saying: 2 You only haue I knowen of al the families of the earth, therfore I will visite you for all your iniquities. 3 Can two walke together, except they be agreed? 4 Wyll a lion roare in the forest when he hath no pray? or wil a lions whelpe crye out of his denne, if he haue taken nothing? 5 Can a birde fal in a snare vpon the earth where no fouler is? or wil he take vp the snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all? 6 Or shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, & the people be not afrayde? or shall there be euyll in a citie, and the Lorde hath not done it? 7 Surely the Lord God wil do nothing, but he reuealeth his secrete vnto his seruauntes the prophetes. 8 The lion hath roared, who wil not be afrayde? The Lorde God hath spoken, who can but prophecie? Amos 3:1-8, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
