Amos 3:4-6
Living Bible
4 “Would I be roaring as a lion unless I had a reason? The fact is, I am getting ready to destroy you. Even a young lion, when it growls, shows it is ready for its food. 5 A trap doesn’t snap shut unless it is stepped on; your punishment is well deserved. 6 The alarm has sounded—listen and fear! For I, the Lord, am sending disaster into your land.

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)
