Amos 3:3-8 - The Prophet's Task
3 Can two walk together, - except they meet? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture? 5 Will a bird fall upon a net to the earth, when there is no, snare, for it? Will a net rise front the ground, when it hath, captured nothing? 6 Or a horn be blown in a city, and, a people, not tremble? Or calamity happen in a city, and, Yahweh, not have wrought with effect? 7 Surely My Lord Yahweh, will do, nothing, - except he have disclosed his secret unto his servants, the prophets! 8 A lion, hath roared, Who will not fear? My Lord Yahweh, hath spoken, Who can forbear to prophesy?
