katapi HOME Amos 3:3-8 - The task of the prophet.  Am.3.3-8

3 3 "Do two walk together,
unless they have made an appointment?
3 4 Does a lion roar in the forest,
when he has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from his den,
if he has taken nothing?
3 5 Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth,
when there is no trap for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground,
when it has taken nothing?
3 6 Is a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
Does evil befall a city,
unless Yahweh has done it?
3 7 Surely Yahweh GOD does nothing,
without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets.
3 8 The lion has roared;
who will not fear?
The Yahweh GOD has spoken;
who can but prophesy?"
