Amos 3

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 People of Israel, listen to the LORD's message. It is against you. It is against the whole family he brought up out of Egypt. He says,

2 "Out of all of the families on earth I have chosen only you. So I will punish you because you have committed so many sins."

3 Do two people walk together unless they've agreed to do so?

4 Does a lion roar in the bushes when it doesn't have any food? Does it growl in its den when it hasn't caught anything?

5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground where no one has set a trap for it? Does a net spring up from the earth when there isn't anything for it to catch?

6 When someone blows a trumpet in a city, don't the people tremble with fear? When trouble comes to a city, hasn't the LORD caused it?

7 The LORD and King never does anything without telling his servants the prophets about it.

8 A lion has roared. Who isn't afraid? The LORD and King has spoken. Who can do anything but prophesy?

9 Speak to the people in the forts of Ashdod and Egypt. Tell them, "Gather together on the mountains of Samaria. Look at the great trouble in that city. Its people are committing many crimes."

10 "They do not know how to do what is right," announces the Lord. "They pile up stolen goods in their forts."

11 So the LORD and King says, "Enemies will take over your land. They will pull down your places of safety. They will rob your forts."

12 The LORD says, "Suppose a shepherd saves only two leg bones from a lion's mouth. Or he might save only a piece of an ear. That is how the Israelites will be saved. They sit in Samaria on the edge of their beds. They lie down in Damascus on their couches."

13 "Listen to me," announces the LORD. "Witness against the people of Jacob," says the LORD God who rules over all.

14 "I will punish Israel for their sins. When I do, I will destroy their altars at Bethel. The horns that stick out from the upper corners of their main altar will be cut off. They will fall to the ground.

15 I will tear their winter houses down. I will also pull down their summer houses. The houses they have decorated with ivory will be destroyed. And their princely houses will be torn down," announces the Lord.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos filii Israhel super omni cognatione quam eduxi de terra Aegypti dicens

2 tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras

3 numquid ambulabunt duo pariter nisi convenerit eis

4 numquid rugiet leo in saltu nisi habuerit praedam numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo nisi aliquid adprehenderit

5 numquid cadet avis in laqueum terrae absque aucupe numquid auferetur laqueus de terra antequam quid ceperit

6 si clanget tuba in civitate et populus non expavescet si erit malum in civitate quod Dominus non fecit

7 quia non faciet Dominus Deus verbum nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas

8 leo rugiet quis non timebit Dominus Deus locutus est quis non prophetabit

9 auditum facite in aedibus Azoti et in aedibus terrae Aegypti et dicite congregamini super montes Samariae et videte insanias multas in medio eius et calumniam patientes in penetrabilibus eius

10 et nescierunt facere rectum dicit Dominus thesaurizantes iniquitatem et rapinas in aedibus suis

11 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus tribulabitur et circumietur terra et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua et diripientur aedes tuae

12 haec dicit Dominus quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura aut extremum auriculae sic eruentur filii Israhel qui habitant in Samaria in plaga lectuli et in Damasco grabatti

13 audite et contestamini in domo Iacob dicit Dominus Deus exercituum

14 quia in die cum visitare coepero praevaricationes Israhel super eum visitabo et super altaria Bethel et amputabuntur cornua altaris et cadent in terram

15 et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva et peribunt domus eburneae et dissipabuntur aedes multae dicit Dominus
