Amós 3

3-7 Do two people walk hand in hand

if they aren’t going to the same place?

Does a lion roar in the forest

if there’s no carcass to devour?

Does a young lion growl with pleasure

if he hasn’t caught his supper?

Does a bird fall to the ground

if it hasn’t been hit with a stone?

Does a trap spring shut

if nothing trips it?

When the alarm goes off in the city,

aren’t people alarmed?

And when disaster strikes the city,

doesn’t God stand behind it?

The fact is, God, the Master, does nothing

without first telling his prophets the whole story.
