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

³ Do two walk together if they have not met? ⁴ Roar doth a lion in a forest and prey he hath none? Give out doth a young lion his voice from his habitation, If he hath not caught? ⁵ Doth a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no gin for it? Doth a snare go up from the ground, And prey it captureth not? ⁶ Is a trumpet blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is there affliction in a city, And Jehovah hath not done it? ⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets. ⁸ A lion hath roared -- who doth not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken -- who doth not prophesy?
