like young lions, they roar;
They growl and seize the prey,
they carry it off and none can rescue.

Amos 1:2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 He said:
The Lord roars from Zion,[a]
and raises his voice from Jerusalem;
The pastures of the shepherds languish,
and the summit of Carmel withers.(A)
Footnotes
- 1:2 Significantly, the roar comes to the Northern Kingdom from Jerusalem. This verse, perhaps an editorial remark, sets the tone of Amos’s message.
Amos 1:2
King James Version
2 And he said, The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

Amos 3:12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Thus says the Lord:
As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion
a pair of sheep’s legs or the tip of an ear,
So shall the Israelites escape,
those who dwell in Samaria,
With the corner of a couch
or a piece of a cot.[a]
Footnotes
- 3:12 The “escape” is clearly a disaster, not a deliverance.
Amos 3:12
King James Version
12 Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
