Amos 3:7

God's wordGod's will and callingProphecy

5 Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?

6 If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.

8 The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken— who will not prophesy?

9 Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
