Amos 3
3
First Pronouncement of Punishment
1#Am 2:10; Jer 8:3Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
2#Dt 7:6; Ro 2:9 You alone have I known
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.
3Do two people walk together,
if they have not agreed?
4#Ps 104:21; Hos 11:10 Does a lion roar in the forest,
if it has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from its den,
if it has not caught something?
5Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground,
if there was no snare for it?
Does a trap spring up from the ground,
if it has not caught something?
6#Isa 45:7; 14:24–27 If the trumpet blasts in the city,
are not the people frightened?
If there is disaster against a city,
is it not the Lord who has done it?
7#Ge 18:17; Jn 15:15 Surely the Lord God does nothing
without revealing His purpose
to His servants the prophets.
8#Jer 20:9; Ac 4:20 The lion has roared;
who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken;
who can but prophesy?
9#Am 4:1; 6:1; 1Sa 5:1 Proclaim to the fortresses in Ashdod,
and the fortresses in the land of Egypt, and say:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great disorders within her,
and the oppression in her midst.”
10#Jer 4:22; Zep 1:9 They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,
storing up violence and destruction in their fortresses.
11#Am 2:5; 6:14Therefore thus says the Lord God:
An enemy will surround your land;
he will tear down your defenses,
and your fortresses will be plundered.
12#1Sa 17:34–37; Am 6:4Thus says the Lord:
As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion
a pair of legs or a piece of an ear,
so will the children of Israel be rescued,
those who live in Samaria,
with the corner of a bed
or a piece of a couch.
13Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of Hosts:
14#2Ki 23:15; Hos 10:5–8 Surely on the day I punish the transgressions of Israel,
I will also punish the altars of Bethel;
the horns of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15#Jdg 3:20; 1Ki 22:39 I will destroy the winter house
as well as the summer house,
and the houses of ivory will perish;
the great houses will come to an end,
says the Lord.
