Amos 3:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ If 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. ⁶ Also, 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.

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