Amos 3:1-6

New International Version

² “You only have I chosen^(C)
    of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish^(D) you
    for all your sins.^(E)”

³ Do two walk together
    unless they have agreed to do so?
⁴ Does a lion roar^(F) in the thicket
    when it has no prey?^(G)
Does it growl in its den
    when it has caught nothing?
⁵ Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
    when no bait^(H) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
    if it has not caught anything?
⁶ When a trumpet^(I) sounds in a city,
    do not the people tremble?
When disaster^(J) comes to a city,
    has not the Lord caused it?^(K)
