Does a bird fly down to a trap on the ground
    when no bait is there?
Does a net spring up from the ground
    when it has not caught anything?
When someone blows a trumpet in a city,

When trouble comes to a city,
    hasn’t the Lord caused it?

    without telling his servants the prophets about it.
