Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:2 - “You only have I [fn]chosen among all the families of the earth;
Therefore I will [fn]punish you for all your iniquities.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:3 - Do two men walk together unless they have made an [fn]appointment?
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:4 - Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey?
Does a young lion [fn]growl from his den unless he has captured something?
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:5 - Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no [fn]bait in it?
Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:6 - If a trumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble?
If a calamity occurs in a city has not the LORD done it?
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:7 - [fn]Surely the Lord [fn]GOD does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:8 - A lion has roared! Who will not fear?
The Lord [fn]GOD has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:10 - “But they do not know how to do what is right,” declares the LORD, “these who hoard up [fn]violence and devastation in their citadels.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:11 - Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD,
“An enemy, even one surrounding the land,
Will pull down your [fn]strength from you
And your citadels will be looted.”
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:12 - Thus says the LORD,
“Just as the shepherd [fn]snatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be [fn]snatched away
With the corner of a bed and the [fn]cover of a couch!
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:13 - “Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
Declares the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:14 - “For on the day that I punish Israel’s transgressions,
I will also punish the altars of Bethel;
The horns of the altar will be cut off
And they will fall to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxAmo 3:15 - “I will also smite the [fn]winter house together with the summer house;
The houses of [fn]ivory will also perish
And the great houses will come to an end,”
Declares the LORD.
