Amos 3
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
3 Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israel, super omnem cognationem quam eduxi de terra AEgypti, dicens:
2 Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae; idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras.
3 Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerit eis?
4 numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit praedam? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit?
5 numquid cadet avis in laqueum terrae absque aucupe? numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit?
6 si clanget tuba in civitate, et populus non expavescet? si erit malum in civitate, quod Dominus non fecerit?
7 Quia non facit Dominus Deus verbum, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas.
8 Leo rugiet, quis non timebit? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit?
9 Auditum facite in aedibus Azoti, et in aedibus terrae AEgypti, et dicite: Congregamini super montes Samariae, et videte insanias multas in medio ejus, et calumniam patientes in penetralibus ejus.
10 Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in aedibus suis.
11 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tribulabitur et circuietur terra: et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur aedes tuae.
12 Haec dicit Dominus: Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura, aut extremum auriculae, sic eruentur filii Israel, qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli, et in Damasci grabato.
13 Audite, et contestamini in domo Jacob, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum;
14 quia in die cum visitare coepero praevaricationes Israel, super eum visitabo, et super altaria Bethel; et amputabuntur cornua altaris, et cadent in terram.
15 Et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva, et peribunt domus eburneae, et dissipabuntur aedes multae, dicit Dominus.

Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(A)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(B)
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)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(L)
to his servants the prophets.(M)
8 The lion(N) has roared(O)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(P)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(Q)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(R)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(S)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(T)
what they have plundered(U) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(V)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(W) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](X)”
13 “Hear this and testify(Y) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(Z) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(AA)
the horns(AB) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(AC)
along with the summer house;(AD)
the houses adorned with ivory(AE) will be destroyed
and the mansions(AF) will be demolished,(AG)”
declares the Lord.(AH)
