Amos 3 — TOJB
3Verse 1Hear this word that Hashem hath spoken against you, O Bnei Yisroel, against the kol hamishpochoh which I brought up from Eretz Mitzrayim, saying:Verse 2You only have I known of all the mishpechot ha'adamah:
therefore I will punish you for kol avonotechem.Verse 3Can shnayim walk together,
except they be agreed?
Verse 4Will an aryeh roar in the thicket,
when he hath no prey?
Will a lion roar from his den,
if he has taken nothing?
Verse 5Can a bird fall in a pach ha'aretz (trap on the ground),
when his snare is not set?
Can a pach spring up from ha'aretz
without making a capture?
Verse 6Shall a shofar be blown in the city,
and the people not be afraid?
Shall there be disaster in a city,
and Hashem hath not caused it?Verse 7Surely Adonoi Hashem will do nothing,
but He revealeth His sod (secret)
unto His avadim hanevi'im.
Verse 8The aryeh hath roared,
who will not fear?
Adonoi Hashem hath spoken,
who can but prophesy?Verse 9Publish in the fortresses at Ashdod,
and in the fortresses in Eretz Mitzrayim,
and say: Assemble yourselves upon harei Shomron,
and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof,
and the oppression in the midst thereof.
Verse 10For they have no da'as to do right, saith Hashem,
who store up chamas and shod in their fortresses.Verse 11Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem:
An adversary shall surround the land;
and he shall bring down thy strongholds from thee,
and thy fortresses shall be plundered.Verse 12Thus saith Hashem: As the ro'eh taketh out of the mouth of the aryeh two legs, or a piece of an ozen; so shall the Bnei Yisroel be saved that dwell in Shomron — with the corner of a mittah (bed), and the edge of a couch.Verse 13Hear ye, and testify against Bais Ya'akov,
saith Adonoi Hashem, Elohei HaTzva'os,
Verse 14On the Yom that I visit her
to punish the peysha'im of Yisroel,
I will also visit to punish the mizbechot of Beit-El;
and the horns of the mizbe'ach shall be cut off,
and fall to ha'aretz.
Verse 15And I will strike the bais hachoref with the bais hakayitz;
and the batim (houses) of ivory shall perish,
and the batim rabbim (great houses) shall have an end,
saith Hashem.
therefore I will punish you for kol avonotechem.Verse 3Can shnayim walk together,
except they be agreed?
Verse 4Will an aryeh roar in the thicket,
when he hath no prey?
Will a lion roar from his den,
if he has taken nothing?

Can a pach spring up from ha'aretz
without making a capture?

and the people not be afraid?
Shall there be disaster in a city,
and Hashem hath not caused it?Verse 7Surely Adonoi Hashem will do nothing,

unto His avadim hanevi'im.
