Amos 3:5
_ _ When a bird trying to fly upwards is made to fall upon the earth snare, it is a plain proof that the snare is there; so, Israel, now that thou art falling, infer thence, that it is in the snare of the divine judgment that thou art entangled [Ludovicus De Dieu].
_ _ shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing — The bird-catcher does not remove his snare off the ground till he has caught some prey; so God will not withdraw the Assyrians, etc., the instruments of punishment, until they have had the success against you which God gives them. The foe corresponds to the “snare,” suddenly springing from the ground and enclosing the bird on the latter touching it; the Hebrew is literally, “Shall the snare spring from the earth?” Israel entangled in judgments answers to the bird “taken.” |
Amos 3:5
Can a bird fall — So here for your sins, God will cast the net over you. Shall one take up a snare — The fowler will not take up the snare, before the prey be taken in it. |
Amos 3:5
(d) Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin [is] for him? shall [one] take up a (e) snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

(e) Will his threatenings be in vain? |
Ecclesiastes 9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so [ are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Jeremiah 31:28 And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
Daniel 9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God [ is] righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
