How so?
What about it do you disagree with?
It certainly seems applicable to me.
The verse, as a stand alone, is applicable, which would be
eisegesis, or otherwise out of context. Which is cool, and I dig it the wider use of it's wisdom, or use as a proverb.
However, what that verse means in context (exegesis) probably takes a scholar, but the two commentaries on this verse from biblehub says the '
two' in the verse is likely God and Israel; and in context means man needs to be in harmony with God's way if man is to walk with God, and since Israel isn't in harmony with God's way Israel is facing God's judgment. And so, in context, it's not suggesting all readers of this verse should not hang with people if they're not agreeing on the same course (where to go).
The full text where this is taken from is:
"
1Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2“Only you have I known
a
from all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.”
3Can two walk together
without agreeing where to go?b
4Does a lion roar in the forest
when he has no prey?
Does a young lion growl in his den
if he has caught nothing?
5Does a bird land in a snare
where no bait has been set?
Does a trap spring from the ground
when it has nothing to catch?
6If a ram’s horn sounds in a city,
do the people not tremble?
If calamity comes to a city,
has not the LORD caused it?
7Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
without revealing His plan
to His servants the prophets."
Commentaries on this verse:
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(3) Two.--Who are the two here represented? Some commentators say, two prophets; Rosenmller, "God and the prophet." But Grotius, Lowth, Henderson, and Pusey refer it, with more reason, to God and Israel, the expression denoting, not merely God's knowledge of a man, but man's response to God. His practical obedience, his communion of heart and will, are described as "walking with" or "before God." (
Genesis 5:22;
Genesis 6:9;
Genesis 17:1;
Psalm 56:13;
Psalm 116:9.) Will, then, God walk with man, guiding, shielding, strengthening him, if man is not in harmony with Him? This is the first of a series of parabolic apothegms, all of which require a negative answer. (
Leviticus 26:23-24.) Each states an event, closely and indissolubly related to another in the bond of cause and effect. All these symbolic utterances point on to the climax in
Amos 3:7-8. . . .
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 3-8. - Before announcing more particularly the coming judgment, Amos, by a series of little parables or comparisons, establishes his right to prophesy, and intimates the necessity laid upon him to deliver his message. He illustrates the truths that all effects have causes, and that from the cause you can infer the effect. Verse 3. - Can two walk together except they be agreed? or, except they have agreed? The "two" are God's judgment and the prophet's word. These do, not coincide by mere chance, no more than two persons pursue in company the same end without previous agreement. The prophet announces God's judgment because God has commissioned him; the prophet is of one mind with God, therefore the Lord is with him, and confirms his words. The application of the parables is seen in vers. 7, 8. The Septuagint, reading differently, has, "except they know one another."
