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. 10For they know not to doe right, saith the Lord; who store vp violence, and robberie in their palaces.

3:8 Hath roared - As a lion roareth when near his prey: so God hath terribly threatened what is near to be done. Prophesy - Amos can not but speak what he had heard.
