NET Bible
"If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear? If disaster overtakes a city, is the LORD not responsible?"
— Amos 3:6, NET Bible
“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?”
“Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it? ”
“Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does evil happen to a city, and Yahweh hasn't done it?”
“Shall the trumpet sound in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, which the Lord hath not done?”
“If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?”
“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?”
Do two walk together without having met?
Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?
Does a bird swoop down into a trap on the ground if there is no bait? Does a trap spring up from the ground unless it has surely caught something?
If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear? If disaster overtakes a city, is the LORD not responsible?
Certainly the Sovereign LORD does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Sovereign LORD has spoken! Who can refuse to prophesy?
