Amos 3 Intro: God's judgment against Israel -- The cause thereof.
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,

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, until he revealeth the secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
