Amos 3:4-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Amos 3:4-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Does a lion roar in the forest
when it has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from its den
if it has caught nothing?(A)
5 Does a bird fall into 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 Is a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
Does disaster befall a city
unless the Lord has done it?(B)
7 Surely the Lord God does nothing
without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets.(C)
8 The lion has roared;
who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken;
who can but prophesy?(D)
