Amos 3:5-12

5CanH369 a birdH6833 fallH5307 in a snareH4170 uponH5921 the earthH776, whereH3808 noH3808 gin is setH5927 for him? shall a snareH4170 springH5927 upH5927 from the groundH776, and have takenH3920 nothingH3808 at allH5927?

6Shall the trumpetH7782 be blownH8628 in a cityH5892, and the peopleH5971 notH3808 be afraidH2729? shalt evilH7451 befallH1961 a cityH5892, and the LORDH3068 hath notH3808 doneH6213 it?

7SurelyH3588 the LordH136 GODH136 will doH6213 nothingH3808, but he revealeth his secretH5475 unto his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.

8The lionH738 hath roaredH7580, who will notH3808 fearH3372? the LordH136 GODH136 hath spokenH1696, who canH4310 but prophesyH5012?

9Publish ye in the palacesH759 at AshdodH795, and in the palacesH759 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559, AssembleH622 yourselves uponH5921 the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111, and beholdH7200 whatH5921 greatH7227 tumultsH4103 are therein, and whatH5921 oppressionsH6217 in the midstH8432 thereof.

10For they knowH3045 notH3808 to doH6213 right, saith the LORDH3068, who storeH686 upH686 violenceH2555 and robbery in their palacesH759.

11Therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: An adversary there shall be, evenH3651 roundH5439 aboutH5439 the landH776: and he shall bringH3381 downH3381 thy strengthH5797 from thee, and thy palacesH759 shall be spoiled.

12ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: As the shepherdH7462 rescueth outH3427 of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legsH3767, or a pieceH915 of an earH241; soH3651 shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be rescuedH5337 that sitH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a couchH4296, and on the silken cushions of a bedH4296.
