Amos 3:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Amos 3:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 Does a lion roar in the forest
unless it has caught
a victim?
Does it growl in its den
unless it is eating?
5 How can anyone catch a bird
without using a net?
Does a trap spring shut
unless something is caught?
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?
Amos 3:4-6
New International Version

when no bait(C) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(D) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(E) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(F)
