Amos 3:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Can two walk together except they be [a]agreed?
4 Will a [b]lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? or will a lion’s whelp cry out of his den, if he hath taken nothing?
5 [c]Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no fowler is? or will he take up the [d]snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

New International Version
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(A) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(B)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(C) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
