Amos 3:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth,
    when there is no trap for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground,
    when it has taken nothing?
⁶ Is a trumpet blown in a city,
    and the people are not afraid?
Does evil befall a city,
    unless the Lord has done it?
⁷ Surely the Lord God does nothing,
    without revealing his secret
    to his servants the prophets.
