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

³ Shall two go together if they met not by appointment? ⁴ Will the lion roar in the forest and not tearing in pieces for him? will the young lion give his voice from his cave if he took nothing? ⁵ Will the bird fall upon the snare of the earth and no noose for her? shall a snare be brought up from the earth and a taking shall not be taken? ⁶ If the trumpet shall be struck in the city and the people not be terrified? if evil shall be in the city and Jehovah did not? ⁷ For the Lord Jehovah will not do a word but he will uncover his secret to his servants the prophets. ⁸ The lion roared, who shall not be afraid? the Lord Jehovah spake, who shall not prophesy?
