Amos 3:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ Will a lion roar in the forest
    without having found its prey?
Will a young lion cry from its den
    without having caught anything?
⁵ Does a bird fall into a snare on the ground
    without any bait in the trap?
Will a trap snap shut
    when there is nothing to catch?
⁶ And when an alarm^[a] sounds in the city,
    the people will tremble, won’t they?
If there is trouble in a city,
    the Lord has brought it about, has he not?”
