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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when not he/it_made/did my=master GOD anything that/for/because/then/when if revealing secret,his to/towards servants,his the,prophets )

The relationship between this sentence and the rhetorical questions in Amos 3:3 to Amos 3:6 can be shown with the words “So also.” Alternate translation: “So also, the Lord Yahweh will do nothing unless … the prophets”
