Amos 3:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
Amos 3:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 A lion will roar in the forest
only if it catches its prey.
A young lion roaring in his cave
means he has caught something to eat.
5 A bird doesn’t fly into a trap
unless there is food in it.
If a trap closes,
it will catch the bird.
6 If people hear the warning blast of a trumpet,
they shake with fear.
If trouble comes to a city,
the Lord caused it to happen.
Amos 3:4-6
New International Version
Amos 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Does a lion roar(A) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(B)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
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)
