Amos 3:1-7

Witnesses Summoned Against Israel 1Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the LORD has spoken against you—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:

2“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”

3Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?

4Does a lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey? Does it growl in its den when it has caught nothing?

5Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there? Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?

6When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?

7Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
