Amos, chapter 3, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 3 Vulgate

   1 Audite verbum hoc, quod locutus est Dominus super vos, filii Israel, super omnem cognationem, quam eduxi de terra Aegypti, dicens:
   2 "Tantummodo vos cognovi ex omnibus cognationibus terrae; idcirco visitabo super vos omnes iniquitates vestras.
   3 Numquid ambulabunt duo pariter, nisi convenerint?
   4 Numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit praedam? Numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit?
   5 Numquid cadet avis super terram absque laqueo? Numquid laxatur laqueus de terra, antequam quid ceperit?
   6 Si clanget tuba in civitate, populus non expavescet? Si erit malum in civitate, nonne Dominus fecit?
   7 Nihil enim faciet Dominus Deus, nisi revelaverit secretum suum ad servos suos prophetas.
   8 Leo rugit, quis non timebit? Dominus Deus locutus est, quis non prophetabit?
   9 Auditum facite in aedibus Assyriae et in aedibus terrae Aegypti et dicite: "Congregamini super montes Samariae"; et videte insanias multas in medio eius et oppressos in sinu eius.
   10 Et nescierunt facere rectum, dicit Dominus, thesaurizantes violentiam et rapinas in aedibus suis".
   11 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: "Inimicus circumdabit terram, et detrahetur ex te fortitudo tua, et diripientur aedes tuae".
   12 Haec dicit Dominus: "Quomodo si eruat pastor de ore leonis duo crura aut extremum auriculae, sic eruentur filii Israel, qui habitant in Samaria, in margine lectuli et in Damasci grabato.
   13 Audite et contestamini in domo Iacob, dicit Dominus, Deus exercituum:
   14 In die cum visitavero praevaricationes Israel, super eum visitabo et super altaria Bethel, et amputabuntur cornua altaris et cadent in terram;
   15 et percutiam domum hiemalem cum domo aestiva, et peribunt domus eburneae, et dissipabuntur aedes magnae", dicit Dominus.

King James Version

   1 Hear 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,
   2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
   3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
   4 Will 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?
   5 Can 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?
   6 Shall 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?
   7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
   8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
   9 ¶ Publish 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.
   10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
   11 Therefore 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.
   12 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
   13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
   14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
   15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
