Amos 3:3-8 - The Prophet's Task
3 May twain walk together except they be agreed among themselves? 4 Doth a lion roar in the woods, except he have prey? Or crieth a Lion's whelp out of his den, except he have gotten something? 5 Doth a bird fall in a snare upon the earth where no fouler is? Taketh a man his snare up from the ground, afore he catch somewhat? 6 Cry they out Alarum with the trumpet in the city, and the people not afraid? Cometh there any plague in a city without it be the LORD's doing? 7 Now doth the LORD God no manner of thing, but he telleth his secret before unto his servants the prophets. 8 When a lion roareth, who will not be afraid? Seeing then that the LORDE God himself speaketh, who will not prophesy?
