Amos 3:3-8

3If two people travel together, they have first agreed to meet together.

4If a lion roars in the forest, it means that he has killed an animal to eat. A young lion does not shout unless he has caught something.

5If there is no food in a trap, a bird will not fly into it. If the door of the trap closes, it means that it has caught something.

6Also, if the people in a city hear a trumpet's sound, they become very afraid. If bad trouble comes to a city, it means that the Lord has sent it.

7Before the Lord God decides to send trouble, he first tells his prophets about it.

8So now the lion has roared! Everyone should be afraid! The Lord God has spoken, so his prophets must tell his message.
