SHALL THERE BE EVIL IN A CITY AND THE LORD HATH NOT DONE IT?

-
AMOS 3:1-12
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, YOU ONLY HAVE I KNOWN 
OF ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH:
THEREFORE 
I WILL PUNISH YOU FOR ALL 
YOUR INIQUITIES.
CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER,
EXCEPT THEY BE AGREED?
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? 
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? 
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?
SURELY THE LORD GOD WILL 
DO NOTHING, BUT HE REVEALETH 
HIS SECRET UNTO HIS SERVANTS 
THE PROPHETS. 
THE LION HATH ROARED, 
WHO WILL NOT FEAR? 
THE LORD GOD HATH SPOKEN, 
WHO CAN BUT PROPHESY? 
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. 
FOR THEY KNOW NOT 
TO DO RIGHT, SAITH THE LORD, 
WHO STORE UP 
VIOLENCE AND ROBBERY 
IN THEIR PALACES.
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. 
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. 
 
LOVE

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF. BY FAITH  JOSEPH,  WHEN HE DIED, MADE MENTION  of the departing of the children of Israel; and  GAVE COMMANDMENT CONCERNING HIS BONES. BY FAITH MOSES WHEN HE WAS BORN,  was hid three months of his parents,  because they saw he was A PROPER CHILD;  and they were NOT AFRAID of the king's commandment. BY FAIT...

ISAIAH 65:9-16   AND I WILL BRING FORTH  A SEED OUT OF JACOB,  AND OUT OF JUDAH  AN INHERITOR OF MY MOUNTAINS: AND MINE ELECT SHALL INHERIT IT,  AND MY SERVANTS SHALL  DWELL THERE.  AND SHARON SHALL  BE A FOLD OF FLOCKS,  AND THE VALLEY OF ACHOR  A PLACE FOR THE HERDS  TO LIE DOWN IN,   FOR MY  PEOPLE THAT HAVE SOUGHT ME . BUT YE ARE THEY THAT FORSAKE THE LORD, THAT FORGET  MY HOLY MOUNTAIN,  THAT PREPARE  A TABLE FOR THAT TROOP,   AND THAT FURNISH THE DRINK  OFFERING UNTO THAT NUMBER.   THEREFORE WILL  I NUMBER YOU TO THE SWORD ,  AND YE SHALL ALL BOW DOWN  TO THE SLAUGHTER:  BECAUSE WHEN I CALLED, YE DID NOT ANSWER; WHEN I SPAKE, YE DID NOT HEAR ; BUT DID EVIL BEFORE MINE EYES, AND DID CHOOSE THAT WHEREIN I DELIGHTED NOT. THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL EAT,  BUT YE SHALL BE HUNGRY : BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL DRINK, BUT YE SHALL BE THIR...
