Amos 3:6

If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?

Amos 3:6 · BSB

Amos 3:6 in context

The verses around it, from Amos 3.

2 “Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”

3 Can two walk together without agreeing where to go?

4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?

5 Does a bird land in a snare where no bait has been set? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has nothing to catch?

6 If a ram’s horn sounds in a city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?

7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.

8 The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken—who will not prophesy?

9 Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”

10 “For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”
