Amos 3:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Surely the Lord God does nothing
    without revealing His purpose
    to His servants the prophets.

⁸ The lion has roared;
    who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken;
    who can but prophesy?

⁹ Proclaim to the fortresses in Ashdod,
    and the fortresses in the land of Egypt, and say:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria,
    and see the great disorders within her,
    and the oppression in her midst.”
