Amos 3:4-6
New Century Version
Amos 3:4-6
New Century Version
4 A lion in the forest does not roar
unless it has caught an animal;
it does not growl in its den
when it has caught nothing.
5 A bird will not fall into a trap
where there is no bait;
the trap will not spring shut
if there is nothing to catch.
6 When a trumpet blows a warning in a city,
the people tremble.
When trouble comes to a city,
the Lord has caused it.
Amos 3:4-6

when it has no prey?(B)

Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?

When disaster(E) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(F)
