Amos 3:4
Witnesses against Israel
3Can two walk together without agreeing where to go? 4Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing? 5Does 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?
