Amos 3:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Does a bird fall into a snare on the earth
    unless a trap has been set for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground
    unless something has been caught in it?
⁶ Are people not alarmed
    if a trumpet sounds in the city?
If disaster strikes a city,
    can that occur without the approval of the Lord?^[a]
7 Indeed, the Lord God does nothing
    without revealing his plan
    to his servants, the prophets.
