What's in Your Bible: Amos 3:3.

Amos 3:3 "Can two walk together, EXCEPT THEY BE AGREED?

In Amos 3:3 God is rebuking his people for their sin of departing from him and being rebellious. The Lord says: "Can two walk together, except they BE AGREED?"

In other words, we must be in agreement with God, see things the way He does, and assent to walk in fellowship with Him or we shall surely suffer the consequences.

However the NASB , New World Translation, and the Legacy Standard bible say: "Do two men walk together unless they HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT?"

Made an appointment?

The phrase "they have made an appointment" completely changes the meaning. People can make an appointment to meet together physically, yet they can totally disagree with each other and hold opposite views. The whole meaning of the verse has been changed.
