Amos 3:4 in Context — Amos 3

2 Je vous ai choisis, vous seuls parmi toutes les familles de la terre; C’est pourquoi je vous châtierai pour toutes vos iniquités.

3 Deux hommes marchent-ils ensemble, Sans en être convenus?

4 Le lion rugit-il dans la forêt, Sans avoir une proie? Le lionceau pousse-t-il des cris du fond de sa tanière, Sans avoir fait une capture?

5 L’oiseau tombe-t-il dans le filet qui est à terre, Sans qu’il y ait un piège? Le filet s’élève-t-il de terre, Sans qu’il y ait rien de pris?

6 Sonne-t-on de la trompette dans une ville, Sans que le peuple soit dans l’épouvante? Arrive-t-il un malheur dans une ville, Sans que l’Éternel en soit l’auteur?
