Amos 3:4-7
Amos 3:4-7 NCV
A lion in the forest does not roar unless it has caught an animal; it does not growl in its den when it has caught nothing. A bird will not fall into a trap where there is no bait; the trap will not spring shut if there is nothing to catch. When a trumpet blows a warning in a city, the people tremble. When trouble comes to a city, the LORD has caused it. Before the Lord GOD does anything, he tells his plans to his servants the prophets.
