Amos 3:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ 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.
⁵ 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.
⁶ When a trumpet blows a warning in a city,
    the people tremble.
When trouble comes to a city,
    the Lord has caused it.
