Amos 3:6 Context
4Will a lyon roare in the forrest, when he hath no pray? will a young lyon cry out of his den, if he haue taken nothing? 5Can a bird fall in a snare vpon the earth, where no ginne is for him? shall one take vp a snare from the earth, and haue taken nothing at all? 6Shall a trumpet be blowen in the citie, and the people not be afraid? shall there be euill in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it? 7Surely the Lord God will doe nothing, but he reuealeth his secret vnto his seruants the Prophets. 8The lyon hath roared, Who will not feare? the Lord God hath spoken, Who can but prophecie?

Wesley's Notes for Amos 3:6
3:6 Afraid - Affected with the danger. Evil - Such as plague or famine. Done it - Either immediately by his own hand, or by the hands of those he employs. Whoever are the instruments, God is the principal agent. Out of his mouth both good and evil proceed.
