3:1Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

3:2You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

3:3Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

3:4Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

3:5Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

3:6Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

3:7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

3:8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
