“Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city,without the people being afraid?Does evil happen to a city,and Yahweh hasn’t done it?”
Amos 3:6 (WEB)
Context Reading
4Will a lion roar in the thicket,when he has no prey?Does a young lion cry out of his den,if he has caught nothing? 5Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth,where no snare is set for him?Does a snare spring up from the ground,when there is nothing to catch? 6Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city,without the people being afraid?Does evil happen to a city,and Yahweh hasn’t done it? 7Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing,unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. 8The lion has roared.Who will not fear?The Lord Yahweh has spoken.Who can but prophesy?
