Amos 3:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Whatever the Lord God
    plans to do,
he tells his servants,
    the prophets.
⁸ Everyone is terrified
    when a lion roars—
and ordinary people
become prophets
    when the Lord God speaks.

⁹ Here is a message
for the leaders
    of Philistia^[a] and Egypt—
tell everyone to come together
    on the hills of Samaria.
Let them see the injustice
and the lawlessness
    in that city.
