Witnesses against Israel
Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt: Amo 2:10Jer 8:3Mic 3:12Ch 20:15Ezk 37:16-17Hos 4:1Isa 48:12Jer 31:1
“Only you have I known 1 Deu 7:6Exo 19:5-6Deu 10:151Pe 4:17Zec 14:17-18Deu 32:9Jer 14:10Jer 9:25
from all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.”
Can two walk together 2Co 6:14-16Gen 17:1Gen 5:22Gen 6:9
without agreeing where to go? 2
Does a lion roar in the forest Hos 11:10Psa 104:21Amo 1:2Amo 3:8Hos 5:14
when he has no prey?
Does a young lion growl in his den
if he has caught nothing?
Does a bird land in a snare Ecc 9:12Dan 9:14Jer 31:28
where no bait has been set?
Does a trap spring from the ground
when it has nothing to catch?
If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, Isa 45:7Isa 14:24-27Zep 1:162Co 5:11Gen 50:20Jer 10:7Act 2:23Jer 4:5
do the people not tremble?
If calamity comes to a city,
has not the LORD caused it?
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Jhn 15:15Gen 18:17Psa 25:14Rev 1:1Dan 9:22-27Gen 6:13Dan 10:21Rev 4:1
without revealing His plan
to His servants the prophets.
The lion has roared— Act 4:20Amo 3:4Jer 20:9Amo 1:21Co 9:16Amo 2:12Amo 7:12-17Rev 5:5
who will not fear?
The Lord GOD has spoken—
who will not prophesy?
Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod Amo 4:1Amo 6:1Amo 1:81Sa 5:1Amo 8:6Jer 22:8-9Jer 31:5Jer 50:2
and to the citadels of Egypt:
“Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
see the great unrest in the city
and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
“For they know not how to do right,” Jer 4:22Zep 1:9Psa 14:4Zec 5:3-42Pe 3:5Amo 5:7Amo 6:12Hab 2:8-11
declares the LORD.
“They store up violence and destruction
in their citadels.”
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: 2Ki 18:9-112Ki 15:192Ki 17:3-6Amo 2:5Amo 6:142Ch 36:192Ki 15:29Amo 3:10
“An enemy 3will surround the land;
he will pull down your strongholds
and plunder your citadels.”
This is what the LORD says: 1Sa 17:34-37Rom 11:4-5Isa 31:41Ki 20:301Ki 20:341Ki 22:252Ki 16:9Amo 9:2-3
“As the shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion
two legs or a piece of an ear,
so the Israelites dwelling in Samaria will be rescued
having just the corner of a bed
or the cushion of a couch. 4
Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, 1Th 4:62Ch 24:192Ki 17:132Ki 17:15Act 18:5-6Act 2:40Act 20:21Amo 5:27
declares the Lord GOD, the God of Hosts.
On the day I punish Israel for their transgressions, 2Ki 23:15Hos 10:5-82Ch 34:6-7Hos 10:14-15Amo 5:5-61Ki 13:2-52Ch 31:1Amo 9:1
I will visit destruction on the altars of Bethel;
the horns of the altar will be cut off,
and they will fall to the ground.
I will tear down the winter house 1Ki 22:39Jer 36:22Amo 6:11Isa 5:9Jdg 3:20Psa 45:8Amo 3:11
along with the summer house;
the houses of ivory will also perish,
and the great houses will come to an end,”
declares the LORD.
