Amos 3:1-8

1Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

2You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities.

3Shall two walk together except they be agreed?

4Will a lion roar in the forest when he hath no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he have taken nothing?

5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth when no gin [is laid] for him? Will the snare spring up from the earth when nothing at all hath been taken?

6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and Jehovah not have done [it]?

7But the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

8The lion hath roared, — who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken, — who can but prophesy?
