Amos 3:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 The lion hath roared: who will not be afraid? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but [a]prophesy?
9 Proclaim in the palaces at [b]Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria: so behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
10 For they know not to do right, saith the Lord: they store up violence, and robbery [c]in their palaces.
