Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

UTNuW 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) 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.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Will a trap spring up from the ground when it has not caught anything?

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”
