Amos 3:7 Context
5Can a bird fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no ginne is for him? shall one take vp a snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all? 6Shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people not be afraid? shall there be euill in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it? 7Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reuealeth his secret vnto his seruants the Prophets. 8The lyon hath roared, Who will not feare? the Lord God hath spoken, Who can but prophecie? 9¶ Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say; Assemble your selues vpon the mountaines of Samaria: and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
