Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

MSG ^(3-7)Do two people walk hand in hand
  if they aren’t going to the same place?
Does a lion roar in the forest
  if there’s no carcass to devour?
Does a young lion growl with pleasure
  if he hasn’t caught his supper?
Does a bird fall to the ground
  if it hasn’t been hit with a stone?
Does a trap spring shut
  if nothing trips it?
When the alarm goes off in the city,
  aren’t people alarmed?
And when disaster strikes the city,
  doesn’t God stand behind it?
The fact is, God, the Master, does nothing
  without first telling his prophets the whole story.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

General Information:

Amos uses the questions in verses 3–6 to present examples of things that people already know about what causes things to happen and what are the results of things that happen.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Will two walk together unless they have agreed?

(Some words not found in UHB: ?,walk two together unless if made_an_appointment )

Amos uses this question to remind people of what they already know about what must happen in order for two people to walk together. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Two people will walk together only if they have first agreed to walk together”
