Amos 3:1-8

1Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.1 3Can two walk together, except they are agreed? 4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he hath taken nothing?2 5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no trap is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? 6Shalt a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it ?34 7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret to his servants the prophets. 8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
