New Testament

Amos 3:2-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

2. "Out of all of the families on earth I have chosen only you. So I will punish you because you have committed so many sins."

3. Do two people walk together unless they've agreed to do so?

4. Does a lion roar in the bushes when it doesn't have any food? Does it growl in its den when it hasn't caught anything?

5. Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground where no one has set a trap for it? Does a net spring up from the earth when there isn't anything for it to catch?

6. When someone blows a trumpet in a city, don't the people tremble with fear? When trouble comes to a city, hasn't the Lord caused it?

7. The Lord and King never does anything without telling his servants the prophets about it.

8. A lion has roared. Who isn't afraid? The Lord and King has spoken. Who can do anything but prophesy?
