Amos 3:2-4

New Century Version

² “I have chosen only you
    out of all the families of the earth,
so I will punish you
    for all your sins.”

³ Two people will not walk together
    unless they have agreed to do so.
⁴ A lion in the forest does not roar
    unless it has caught an animal;
it does not growl in its den
    when it has caught nothing.
