Amos 3

3:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

this word
<01697>

that the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

against you, O children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

against the whole family
<04940>

which I brought up
<05927> (8689)

from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

3:2

You only have I known
<03045> (8804)

of all the families
<04940>

of the earth
<0127>_:

therefore I will punish
<06485> (8799)

you for all your iniquities
<05771>_.

{punish: Heb. visit upon}

3:3

Can two
<08147>

walk
<03212> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

except
<01115>

they be agreed
<03259> (8738)_?

3:4

Will a lion
<0738>

roar
<07580> (8799)

in the forest
<03293>_,

when he hath no prey
<02964>_?

will a young lion
<03715>

cry out
<05414> (8799) <06963>

of his den
<04585>_,

if he have taken
<03920> (8804)

nothing
<01115>_?

{cry: Heb. give forth his voice}

3:5

Can a bird
<06833>

fall
<05307> (8799)

in a snare
<06341>

upon the earth
<0776>_,

where no gin
<04170>

[is] for him? shall [one] take up
<05927> (8799)

a snare
<06341>

from the earth
<0127>_,

and have taken
<03920> (8799)

nothing at all
<03920> (8800)_?

3:6

Shall a trumpet
<07782>

be blown
<08628> (8735)

in the city
<05892>_,

and the people
<05971>

not be afraid
<02729> (8799)_?

shall there be evil
<07451>

in a city
<05892>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath not done
<06213> (8804)

[it]? {be afraid: or, run together?} {the LORD...: or, shall not the LORD do somewhat?}

3:7

Surely the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

will do
<06213> (8799)

nothing
<01697>_,

but he revealeth
<01540> (8804)

his secret
<05475>

unto his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

3:8

The lion
<0738>

hath roared
<07580> (8804)_,

who will not
<03808>

fear
<03372> (8799)_?

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

who can but prophesy
<05012> (8735)_?

3:9

Publish
<08085> (8685)

in the palaces
<0759>

at Ashdod
<0795>_,

and in the palaces
<0759>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and say
<0559> (8798)_,

Assemble
<0622> (8734)

yourselves upon the mountains
<02022>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)

the great
<07227>

tumults
<04103>

in the midst
<07130>

thereof, and the oppressed
<06217>

in the midst
<08432>

thereof. {oppressed: or, oppressions}

3:10

For they know
<03045> (8804)

not to do
<06213> (8800)

right
<05229>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

who store
<0686> (8802)

up violence
<02555>

and robbery
<07701>

in their palaces
<0759>_.

{robbery: or, spoil}

3:11

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

An adversary
<06862>

[there shall be] even round about
<05439>

the land
<0776>_;

and he shall bring down
<03381> (8689)

thy strength
<05797>

from thee, and thy palaces
<0759>

shall be spoiled
<0962> (8738)_.

3:12

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

As the shepherd
<07462> (8802)

taketh out
<05337> (8686)

of the mouth
<06310>

of the lion
<0738>

two
<08147>

legs
<03767>_,

or a piece
<0915>

of an ear
<0241>_;

so shall the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

be taken out
<05337> (8735)

that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in Samaria
<08111>

in the corner
<06285>

of a bed
<04296>_,

and in Damascus
<01833>

[in] a couch
<06210>_.

3:13

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye, and testify
<05749> (8685)

in the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

3:14

That in the day
<03117>

that I shall visit
<06485> (8800)

the transgressions
<06588>

of Israel
<03478>

upon him I will also visit
<06485> (8804)

the altars
<04196>

of Bethel
<01008>_:

and the horns
<07161>

of the altar
<04196>

shall be cut off
<01438> (8738)_,

and fall
<05307> (8804)

to the ground
<0776>_.

{visit: or, punish Israel for}

3:15

And I will smite
<05221> (8689)

the winter
<02779>

house
<01004>

with the summer
<07019>

house
<01004>_;

and the houses
<01004>

of ivory
<08127>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_,

and the great
<07227>

houses
<01004>

shall have an end
<05486> (8804)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.
