Amos 3:5-12
5Does a birdH6833 fallH5307 into a trapH6341 on the groundH776 when thereH369 isH369 noH369 1deviceH4170 in it? Does a trapH6341 springH5927 upH5927 from the earthH127 when it capturesH3920 nothingH3808 atH3920 allH3920?6IfH518 a 2trumpetH7782 is blownH8628 in a cityH5892, will the peopleH5971 not trembleH2729? IfH518 a 3disasterH7463 occursH1961 in a cityH5892, has the LordH3068 not broughtH6213 it aboutH6213?74CertainlyH3588 the LordH136 5GodH3068 doesH6213 nothingH3808H1697 UnlessH3588H518 He 6revealsH1540 His secretH5475 planH5475 To His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.8A 7lionH743 has roaredH7580! WhoH4310 will not fearH3372? The 8LordH136 GodH3068 has spokenH1696! 9WhoH4310 can do anything but prophesyH5012?
9ProclaimH8085 on the citadelsH759 in 10AshdodH795 and on the citadelsH759 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and sayH559, “AssembleH622 yourselves on the 11mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111 and seeH7200 the greatH7227 panicH4103 withinH8432 her and the 12oppressionsH6217 in her midstH7130. 10But they 13do not knowH3045 how to doH6213 whatH5228 isH5228 rightH5228,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “these who 14storeH686 up 15violenceH2555 and devastationH7701 in their citadelsH759.”
11ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “An 16enemyH6862, oneH5439 surroundingH5439 the landH776, Will takeH3381 downH3381 your fortificationsH5797 from you, And your 17citadelsH759 will be lootedH962.” 12ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “JustH3512 asH3512 the shepherdH7462 1819snatchesH5337 from the lion’sH738 mouthH6310 a coupleH8147 of legsH3767 orH176 a pieceH915 of an earH241, SoH3651 will the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 livingH3427 in SamariaH8111 be 20snatchedH5337 awayH5337-- With the 21cornerH6285 of a bedH4296 and the 2223coverH1833 of a couchH6210!
