Amos 3:6-11
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

6If a trumpet is blown in a city, will the people not tremble? If a disaster occurs in a city, has the Lord not brought it about? 7 Certainly the Lord God does nothing Unless He reveals His secret plan To His servants the prophets. 8A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can do anything but prophesy?
9Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, 'Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see the great panic within her and the oppressions in her midst. 10But they do not know how to do what is right,' declares the Lord, 'these who store up violence and devastation in their citadels.'
11Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: 'An enemy, one surrounding the land, Will take down your fortifications from you, And your citadels will be looted.'
King James Version

Chapter 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? 7Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 8The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
9Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. 10For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 11Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 3

6If a ram's horn is blown in a city, aren't people afraid? If a disaster occurs in a city, hasn't the Lord done it? 7Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing his counsel to his servants the prophets.
8A lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who will not prophesy? 9Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt: Assemble on the mountains of Samaria, and see the great turmoil in the city and the acts of oppression within it.
10The people are incapable of doing right -- this is the Lord's declaration -- those who store up violence and destruction in their citadels.
11Therefore, the Lord God says: An enemy will surround the land; he will destroy your strongholds and plunder your citadels.
New Living Translation

Chapter 3

6When the ram’s horn blows a warning, shouldn’t the people be alarmed? Does disaster come to a city unless the Lord has planned it?
7Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.
8The lion has roared — so who isn’t frightened? The Sovereign Lord has spoken — so who can refuse to proclaim his message? 9Announce this to the leaders of Philistia and to the great ones of Egypt: 'Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria, and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel.'
10'My people have forgotten how to do right,' says the Lord. 'Their fortresses are filled with wealth taken by theft and violence. 11Therefore,' says the Sovereign Lord, 'an enemy is coming! He will surround them and shatter their defenses. Then he will plunder all their fortresses.'
English Standard Version

Chapter 3

6Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the LORD has done it? 7“For the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. 8The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken; who can but prophesy?” 9Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt, and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see the great tumults within her, and the oppressed in her midst.” 10“They do not know how to do right,” declares the LORD, “those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.” 11Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “An adversary shall surround the land and bring down your defenses from you, and your strongholds shall be plundered.”
New International Version

Chapter 3

6When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
7Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
8The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy?
9Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt: 'Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people.' 10They do not know how to do right,' declares the LORD, 'who store up in their fortresses what they have plundered and looted.'
11Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.'
