Amos 3:7-11

English Standard Version

⁷ “For the Lord God does nothing
    ^(A)without revealing his secret
    to his servants the prophets.
⁸ The lion has roared;
    who will not fear?
^(B)The Lord God has spoken;
    who can but prophesy?”

⁹ Proclaim to the strongholds in ^(C)Ashdod
    and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on ^(D)the mountains of Samaria,
    and see the great tumults within her,
    and ^(E)the oppressed in her midst.”
¹⁰ “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,
    ^(F)“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”

^(G)“An adversary shall surround the land
    and bring down^[a] your defenses from you,
    and ^(H)your strongholds shall be plundered.”
