The younglionsroarafter their preyAnd seektheir foodfrom God.
"Can you huntthe preyfor the lion,Or satisfythe appetiteof the younglions,
"Whopreparesfor the ravenits nourishmentWhenits youngcryto GodAnd wanderabout withoutfood?
The eyesof alllookto You, And You givethem their foodin due time.
He givesto the beastits food,[And] to the youngravenswhichcry.
The younglionsdo lackand sufferhunger;But they who seekthe LORDshall not be in wantof anygoodthing.
For thussaysthe LORDto me, "As the lionor the youngliongrowlsoverhis prey,Againstwhicha bandof shepherdsis calledout, [And] he will not be terrifiedat their voicenordisturbedat their noise,Sowill the LORDof hostscomedownto wagewaron MountZionand on its hill."
Howthe beastsgroan!The herdsof cattlewanderaimlesslyBecausethereis nopasturefor them; Eventhe flocksof sheepsuffer.
Eventhe beastsof the fieldpantfor You; For the waterbrooksare driedup And firehas devouredthe pasturesof the wilderness.
Do not fear,beastsof the field,For the pasturesof the wildernesshave turnedgreen,For the treehas borneits fruit,The figtreeand the vinehave yieldedin full.
Does a lionroarin the forestwhen he hasnoprey?Does a youngliongrowlfrom his denunlesshe has captured[something]?
