Amos 3:1-8

Young's Literal Translation

3 Hear ye this word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:

² Only you I have known of all families of the land, Therefore I charge on you all your iniquities.

³ Do two walk together if they have not met?

⁴ Roar doth a lion in a forest and prey he hath none? Give out doth a young lion his voice from his habitation, If he hath not caught?

⁵ Doth a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no gin for it? Doth a snare go up from the ground, And prey it captureth not?

⁶ Is a trumpet blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And Jehovah hath not done [it]?

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

⁸ A lion hath roared -- who doth not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken -- who doth not prophesy?
