1 Hear this word that YHWH has spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2 “Only you have I known of all families of the earth, || Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.” 3 Do two walk together if they have not met? 4 Does a lion roar in a forest and he has no prey? Does a young lion give out his voice from his habitation, || If he has not caught? 5 Does a bird fall into a snare of the earth, || And there is no trap for it? Does a snare go up from the ground, || And it does not capture prey? 6 Is a horn blown in a city, || And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, || And YHWH has not done [it]? 7 For Lord YHWH does nothing, || Except He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets. 8 A lion has roared—who does not fear? Lord YHWH has spoken—who does not prophesy? Amos 3:1-8, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
