Amos 3:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Isn't the whole city frightened
when the trumpet
    signals an attack?
Isn't the Lord the one who brings
    disaster on a city?
⁷ Whatever the Lord God
    plans to do,
he tells his servants,
    the prophets.
⁸ Everyone is terrified
    when a lion roars—
and ordinary people
become prophets
    when the Lord God speaks.
