Amos 3:4-6
New English Translation

4 Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey?[a]
Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?
5 Does a bird swoop down into a trap on the ground if there is no bait?
Does a trap spring up from the ground unless it has surely caught something?
6 If an alarm sounds[b] in a city, do people not fear?[c]
If disaster overtakes a[d] city, is the Lord not responsible?[e]
