Amos uses this question to remind people of what they already know about what causes a bird to fall into a trap. This can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "A bird can fall into a trap on the ground only when bait has been set for him." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
Will a trap spring up from the ground when it has not caught anything?
Amos uses this question to remind people of what they already know about what causes a trap to spring up. This question can be translated as a statement. Alternate translation: "A trap will spring up from the ground only when it has caught something." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
Will a trap spring up from the ground
