Amos 3

1HearH8085 this wordH1697 that Jehovah hath spokenH1696 against you, O children of IsraelH3478, against the whole familyH4940 which I broughtH5927 up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, 2You onlyH7535 have I knownH3045 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127: thereforeH3651 I will visitH6485 upon you all your iniquitiesH5771. 3Shall twoH8147 walk togetherH3162, except they have agreed? 4Will a lionH738 roarH7580 in the forestH3293, when he hath no preyH2964? will a youngH3715 lionH738 cry out of his denH4585, if he have takenH3920 nothingH369? 5Can a birdH6833 fallH5307 in a snareH4170 upon the earthH776, where no gin is set for him? shall a snareH4170 spring up from the groundH776, and have takenH3920 nothing at all? 6Shall the trumpetH7782 beH1961 blownH8628 in a cityH5892, and the peopleH5971 not beH1961 afraid? shall evilH7451 befall a cityH5892, and Jehovah hath not done it? 7Surely the LordH136 Jehovah will do nothing, except he revealH1540 his secretH5475 unto his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 8The lionH738 hath roaredH7580; who will not fearH3372? The LordH136 Jehovah hath spokenH1696; who can but prophesyH5012?

9Publish ye in the palaces at AshdodH795, and in the palaces in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559, Assemble yourselves upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111, and behold what greatH7227 tumults are therein, and what oppressionsH6217 in the midstH8432 thereof. 10For they knowH3045 not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violenceH2555 and robbery in their palaces. 11ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: An adversary there shall be, even roundH5439 about the landH776; and he shall bringH3381 down thy strengthH5797 from thee, and thy palaces shall be plunderedH962. 12ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: As the shepherdH7462 rescueth out of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legsH3767, or a piece of an earH241, soH3651 shall the children of IsraelH3478 be rescuedH5337 that sitH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a couchH4296, and on the silken cushions of a bedH4296.

13HearH8085 ye, and testify against the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635. 14For in the dayH3117 that I shall visitH6485 the transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478 upon him, I will also visitH6485 the altarsH4196 of Beth-el; and the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 shall be cutH1438 off, and fallH5307 to the groundH776. 15And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the housesH1004 of ivoryH8127 shall perishH6, and the greatH7227 housesH1004 shall have an endH5486, saith Jehovah.
