Amos 3:3-8
New International Version
Amos 3:3-8
New International Version
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(A) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(B)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(C) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(D) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(E) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(F)

3 “Do two walk together,
unless they have agreed to meet?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest,
when he has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from his den,
if he has taken nothing?
5 Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth,
when there is no trap for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground,
when it has taken nothing?
6 (A)Is a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
(B)Does disaster come to a city,
unless the Lord has done it?

(C)without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared;
who will not fear?
(D)The Lord God has spoken;
who can but prophesy?”
