Amos 3:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶When someone blows a trumpet in a city,
don’t the people tremble with fear?
When trouble comes to a city,
hasn’t the Lord caused it?

⁷The Lord and King never does anything
without telling his servants the prophets about it.

⁸A lion has roared.
Who isn’t afraid?
The Lord and King has spoken.
Who can do anything but prophesy?

Amos 3:6-8
