Amos 3:5 in Context — Amos 3
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?
7 Car le Seigneur, l’Éternel, ne fait rien Sans avoir révélé son secret à ses serviteurs les prophètes.
