Amos 3:3-8 - The Prophet's Task
3 Can two walk together except they be agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he has taken nothing? 5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth without a fowler? Shall the snare rise up from the earth and have taken nothing at all? 6 Shall the shofar be blown in the city and the people not be afraid? Shall there be any evil in the city which the LORD has not done? 7 Because the Lord GOD will do nothing unless he reveals his secret to his slaves the prophets. 8 The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?
