Does a lion roar in the forest, if it has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from its den, if it has not caught something?
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
They will walk after the Lord, who roars like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
For I will be like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, Myself, will tear and go away. I will carry off, and no one will rescue.
He said: The Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds languish, the top of Carmel withers.
Do two people walk together, if they have not agreed?
Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground, if there was no snare for it? Does a trap spring up from the ground, if it has not caught something?
The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?
