Bible. Amos
30:002:015 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is
swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that
rideth the horse deliver himself.
30:002:016 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away
naked in that day, saith the LORD.
30:003:001 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,
30:003:002 You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
30:003:003 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
30:003:004 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?
30:003:005 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?
30:003:006 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?
30:003:007 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his
secret unto his servants the prophets.
30:003:008 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath
spoken, who can but prophesy?
30:003:009 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.
30:003:010 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up
violence and robbery in their palaces.
30:003:011 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.
30:003:012 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.
30:003:013 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord
GOD, the God of hosts,
30:003:014 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.
30:003:015 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.
30:004:001 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of
Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which
say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
