Amos 3 – Studienbibel

1 Hear8085 this word1697 that the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 against you, O children1121 of Israel3478, against the whole family4940 which I brought up5927 from the land776 of Egypt4714, saying559, 2 You only have I known3045 of all the families4940 of the earth127: therefore I will punish6485 you for all your iniquities5771.¹ 3 Can two8147 walk3212 together3162, except1115 they be agreed3259? 4 Will a lion738 roar7580 in the forest3293, when he hath no prey2964? will a young lion3715 cry out5414 6963 of his den4585, if he have taken3920 nothing1115?² 5 Can a bird6833 fall5307 in a snare6341 upon the earth776, where no gin4170 is for him? shall one take up5927 a snare6341 from the earth127, and have taken3920 nothing at all3920? 6 Shall a trumpet7782 be blown8628 in the city5892, and the people5971 not be afraid2729? shall there be evil7451 in a city5892, and the LORD3068 hath not done6213 it?³ 7 Surely the Lord136 GOD3069 will do6213 nothing1697, but he revealeth1540 his secret5475 unto his servants5650 the prophets5030. 8 The lion738 hath roared7580, who will not3808 fear3372? the Lord136 GOD3069 hath spoken1696, who can but prophesy5012?

9 Publish8085 in the palaces759 at Ashdod795, and in the palaces759 in the land776 of Egypt4714, and say559, Assemble622 yourselves upon the mountains2022 of Samaria8111, and behold7200 the great7227 tumults4103 in the midst7130 thereof, and the oppressed6217 in the midst8432 thereof.⁴ 10 For they know3045 not to do6213 right5229, saith5002 the LORD3068, who store686 up violence2555 and robbery7701 in their palaces759.⁵ 11 Therefore thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; An adversary6862 there shall be even round about5439 the land776; and he shall bring down3381 thy strength5797 from thee, and thy palaces759 shall be spoiled962. 12 Thus saith559 the LORD3068; As the shepherd7462 taketh out5337 of the mouth6310 of the lion738 two8147 legs3767, or a piece915 of an ear241; so shall the children1121 of Israel3478 be taken out5337 that dwell3427 in Samaria8111 in the corner6285 of a bed4296, and in Damascus1833 in a couch6210.⁶⁷ 13 Hear8085 ye, and testify5749 in the house1004 of Jacob3290, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069, the God430 of hosts6635, 14 That in the day3117 that I shall visit6485 the transgressions6588 of Israel3478 upon him I will also visit6485 the altars4196 of Bethel1008: and the horns7161 of the altar4196 shall be cut off1438, and fall5307 to the ground776.⁸ 15 And I will smite5221 the winter2779 house1004 with the summer7019 house1004; and the houses1004 of ivory8127 shall perish6, and the great7227 houses1004 shall have an end5486, saith5002 the LORD3068.
