Amos 3 Text (WEB)

Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying: "You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins." Do two walk together, unless they have agreed? Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing? Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch? Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn't done it? Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy? Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them." "Indeed they don't know to do right," says Yahweh, "Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces." Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: "An adversary will overrun the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered." Thus says Yahweh: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed." "Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says the Lord Yahweh, the God of Armies. "For in the day that I visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground. I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end," says Yahweh.

Amos 3 Text (Hebrew)

שמעו את־הדבר הזה אשר דבר יהוה עליכם בני ישראל על כל־המשפחה אשר העליתי מארץ מצרים לאמר׃ רק אתכם ידעתי מכל משפחות האדמה על־כן אפקד עליכם את כל־עונתיכם׃ הילכו שנים יחדו בלתי אם־נועדו׃ הישאג אריה ביער וטרף אין לו היתן כפיר קולו ממענתו בלתי אם־לכד׃ התפל צפור על־פח הארץ ומוקש אין לה היעלה־פח מן־האדמה ולכוד לא ילכוד׃ אם־יתקע שופר בעיר ועם לא יחרדו אם־תהיה רעה בעיר ויהוה לא עשה׃ כי לא יעשה אדני יהוה דבר כי אם־גלה סודו אל־עבדיו הנביאים׃ אריה שאג מי לא יירא אדני יהוה דבר מי לא ינבא׃ השמיעו על־ארמנות באשדוד ועל־ארמנות בארץ מצרים ואמרו האספו על־הרי שמרון וראו מהומת רבות בתוכה ועשוקים בקרבה׃ ולא־ידעו עשות־נכחה נאם־יהוה האוצרים חמס ושד בארמנותיהם׃ ף לכן כה אמר אדני יהוה צר וסביב הארץ והורד ממך עזך ונבזו ארמנותיך׃ כה אמר יהוה כאשר יציל הרעה מפי הארי שתי כרעים או בדל־אזן כן ינצלו בני ישראל הישבים בשמרון בפאת מטה ובדמשק ערש׃ שמעו והעידו בבית יעקב נאם־אדני יהוה אלהי הצבאות׃ כי ביום פקדי פשעי־ישראל עליו ופקדתי על־מזבחות בית־אל ונגדעו קרנות המזבח ונפלו לארץ׃ והכיתי בית־החרף על־בית הקיץ ואבדו בתי השן וספו בתים רבים נאם־יהוה׃ ס

Amos 3 Text (Latin)

Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israël, super omnem cognationem quam eduxi de terra Ægypti, dicens : Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terræ ; idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras. Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerit eis ? numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit prædam ? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit ? numquid cadet avis in laqueum terræ absque aucupe ? numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit ? si clanget tuba in civitate, et populus non expavescet ? si erit malum in civitate, quod Dominus non fecerit ? Quia non facit Dominus Deus verbum, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas. Leo rugiet, quis non timebit ? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit ? Auditum facite in ædibus Azoti, et in ædibus terræ Ægypti, et dicite : Congregamini super montes Samariæ, et videte insanias multas in medio ejus, et calumniam patientes in penetralibus ejus. Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in ædibus suis. Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Tribulabitur et circuietur terra : et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur ædes tuæ. Hæc dicit Dominus : Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura, aut extremum auriculæ, sic eruentur filii Israël, qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli, et in Damasci grabato. Audite, et contestamini in domo Jacob, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum ; quia in die cum visitare cœpero prævaricationes Israël, super eum visitabo, et super altaria Bethel ; et amputabuntur cornua altaris, et cadent in terram. Et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo æstiva, et peribunt domus eburneæ, et dissipabuntur ædes multæ, dicit Dominus.

Amos 3 Text (KJV)

Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
