Amos 3:5-12

5Can a birdH6833 fallH5307 in a snareH6341 upon the earthH776, where no trapH4170 is for him? shall one take upH5927 a snareH6341 from the earthH127, and have takenH3920 nothing at allH3920? 6Shalt a trumpetH7782 be blownH8628 in the cityH5892, and the peopleH5971 not be afraidH2729? shall there be evilH7451 in a cityH5892, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6213 it ?12 7Surely the LordH136 GODH3069 will doH6213 nothingH1697, but he revealethH1540 his secretH5475 to his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 8The lionH738 hath roaredH7580, who will notH3808 fearH3372? the LordH136 GODH3069 hath spokenH1696, who can but prophesyH5012?

9ProclaimH8085 in the palacesH759 at AshdodH795, and in the palacesH759 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559, AssembleH622 yourselves upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111, and beholdH7200 the greatH7227 tumultsH4103 in the midstH7130 of it, and the oppressedH6217 in the midstH8432 of it.3 10For they knowH3045 not to doH6213 rightH5229, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, who storeH686 up violenceH2555 and robberyH7701 in their palacesH759.4 11Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; An adversaryH6862 there shall be even on every sideH5439 the landH776; and he shall bring downH3381 thy strengthH5797 from thee, and thy palacesH759 shall be plunderedH962. 12Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; As the shepherdH7462 taketh outH5337 of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legsH3767, or a pieceH915 of an earH241; so shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be taken outH5337 that dwellH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a bedH4296, and in DamascusH1833 in a couchH6210.56
