Amos 3:3-8 - The Prophet's Task

³ Can two walk together
without agreeing to meet?
⁴ Does a lion roar in the forest
when it has no prey?
Does a young lion growl from its lair
unless it has captured something?
⁵ Does a bird land in a trap on the ground
if there is no bait for it?
Does a trap spring from the ground
when it has caught nothing?
⁶ If a ram’s horn is blown in a city,
aren’t people afraid?
If a disaster occurs in a city,
hasn’t the Lord done it?
⁷ Indeed, the Lord God does nothing
without revealing His counsel
to His servants the prophets.
⁸ A lion has roared;
who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken;
who will not prophesy?
