Amos 3:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 3:4

2 “You^a only have I known of all the families of the earth;
^bTherefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”

3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?
Will a young lion¹ cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?

5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no¹ trap for it?
Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?

6 If a¹ trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid?
^aIf there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?

7 Surely the Lord God does nothing,
Unless ^aHe reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
