Amos 3:6-8
Contemporary English Version

6 Isn't the whole city frightened
when the trumpet
    signals an attack?
Isn't the Lord the one who brings
    disaster on a city?
7 Whatever the Lord God
    plans to do,
he tells his servants,
    the prophets.
8 Everyone is terrified
    when a lion roars—
and ordinary people
become prophets
    when the Lord God speaks.

    do not the people tremble?

7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
    without revealing his plan(D)
    to his servants the prophets.(E)

8 The lion(F) has roared(G)—
    who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
    who can but prophesy?(H)
