Amos 3:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Does a lion roar in the bushes
    when it doesn’t have any food?
Does it growl in its den
    when it hasn’t caught anything?
⁵ Does a bird fly down to a trap on the ground
    when no bait is there?
Does a net spring up from the ground
    when it has not caught anything?
⁶ When someone blows a trumpet in a city,
    don’t the people tremble with fear?
When trouble comes to a city,
    hasn’t the Lord caused it?
