Amos 3:8-15

The lion
<0738>
hath roared
<07580> (8804)_,
who will not
<03808>
fear
<03372> (8799)_?
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
who can but prophesy
<05012> (8735)_?
Publish
<08085> (8685)
in the palaces
<0759>
at Ashdod
<0795>_,
and in the palaces
<0759>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and say
<0559> (8798)_,
Assemble
<0622> (8734)
yourselves upon the mountains
<02022>
of Samaria
<08111>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
the great
<07227>
tumults
<04103>
in the midst
<07130>
thereof, and the oppressed
<06217>
in the midst
<08432>
thereof. {oppressed: or, oppressions}
For they know
<03045> (8804)
not to do
<06213> (8800)
right
<05229>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
who store
<0686> (8802)
up violence
<02555>
and robbery
<07701>
in their palaces
<0759>_.
{robbery: or, spoil}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
An adversary
<06862>
[there shall be] even round about
<05439>
the land
<0776>_;
and he shall bring down
<03381> (8689)
thy strength
<05797>
from thee, and thy palaces
<0759>
shall be spoiled
<0962> (8738)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
As the shepherd
<07462> (8802)
taketh out
<05337> (8686)
of the mouth
<06310>
of the lion
<0738>
two
<08147>
legs
<03767>_,
or a piece
<0915>
of an ear
<0241>_;
so shall the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
be taken out
<05337> (8735)
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in Samaria
<08111>
in the corner
<06285>
of a bed
<04296>_,
and in Damascus
<01833>
[in] a couch
<06210>_.
{taketh: Heb. delivereth} {in Damascus...: or, on the bed's feet}
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye, and testify
<05749> (8685)
in the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
That in the day
<03117>
that I shall visit
<06485> (8800)
the transgressions
<06588>
of Israel
<03478>
upon him I will also visit
<06485> (8804)
the altars
<04196>
of Bethel
<01008>_:
and the horns
<07161>
of the altar
<04196>
shall be cut off
<01438> (8738)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)
to the ground
<0776>_.
{visit: or, punish Israel for}
And I will smite
<05221> (8689)
the winter
<02779>
house
<01004>
with the summer
<07019>
house
<01004>_;
and the houses
<01004>
of ivory
<08127>
shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
and the great
<07227>
houses
<01004>
shall have an end
<05486> (8804)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
