(Occurrence 0) Can a bird fall in a trap on the ground when no bait is set for him?
(Some words not found in UHB: ?,fall bird on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in trap the=earth/land and,snare not to/for=her/it ?,spring_up trap from/more_than the=soil and,to_catch not taken )
Amos uses this question to remind people of what they already know about what causes a bird to fall into a trap. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “A bird can fall into a trap on the ground only when bait has been set for him.”

This refers to a trap closing. When an animal steps on a trap, the trap closes and the animal cannot get out of it. Alternate translation: “Will a trap close”
3:5 The trap pictures the consequences of Israel’s sin. Israel fully deserved the judgment that Amos proclaimed.
