Amos Chapter 3Young's Literal Translation2: 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? 9: Sound ye unto palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be ye gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst. 10: And they have not known to act straightforwardly, An affirmation of Jehovah, Who are treasuring up violence and spoil in their palaces. 11: Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: An adversary -- and surrounding the land, And he hath brought down from thee thy strength, And spoiled have been thy palaces. 12: Thus said Jehovah: As the shepherd delivereth from the lion's mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So delivered are the sons of Israel, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch. 13: Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts. 14: For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And cut off have been the horns of the altar, And they have fallen to the earth. 15: And I have smitten the winter-house with the summer-house, And perished have houses of ivory, And consumed have been many houses, An affirmation of Jehovah!
