Amos 3:6-8 CEV ...Isn't the whole city frightened when the trumpet signals an attack? Isn't it the LORD (יהוה) who brings disaster on a city?

Amos 3:6-8 GNB ...Does the war trumpet sound in a city without making the people afraid? Does disaster strike a city unless the LORD (יהוה) sends it?

When the Sovereign LORD (יהוה) speaks, who can keep from proclaiming his message?
Amos 3:6-8 ESV ...Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does disaster come to a city, unless the LORD (יהוה) has done it?

Amos 3:6-8 GW ...If a ram's horn sounds an alarm in a city, won't the people be alarmed? If there is a disaster in a city, hasn't the LORD (יהוה) done it?

The Almighty LORD (יהוה) has spoken. Who can keep from prophesying?
Amos 3:6-8 LITV ...If a ram's horn is blowing in a city, will the people not also tremble? If there is a calamity in a city, has Jehovah (יהוה) not even done it? (7) For the Lord Jehovah (יהוה) will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. (8) A lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah (יהוה) has spoken, who will not prophesy?
Amos 3:6-8 NWT ...If a horn is blown in a city, do not also the people themselves tremble?

Who will not be afraid? The Sovereign Lord Jehovah (יהוה) himself has spoken! Who will not prophesy?’
