"The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful." (Luke 12:46) This servant was not apparently explicitly warned about this calamity.
Never said otherwise.
The fact is, Amos declares that when God sends calamity on a city, he gives an advance warning.
Your interpretation of 7b makes the Lord responsible for every calamity that occurs in a city, whether or not there is advance warning.
After a destructive earthquake, someone says, "oh,oh - God has done this as a punishment." to which another replies, "Get off it. No-one gave any advance warning."
