Amos 3:5      Amos 3:7

Amos 3:6

If a shofar sounds in a city, do not the inhabitants tremble? [Yes!]
If evil occurs in a city, does not the Lord (Yahweh) have something to do with it? [The first five questions have an implied "no" as the answer. The sixth question has a "yes" as the answer, and there were different opinions about the last one. Amos' contemporaries did not believe that God would allow destruction to come upon their city. God never causes evil (1 John 1:5), but he can allow it and withdraw his protection, see Lam. 2:3. Verse 6 should also be seen in the light of verses 7-8, where God warns, see also Jonah 1:2]
