Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?
The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.
They shall go after the Lord, he will roar like a lion; yea, he will roar, and his sons shall 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, even I, will rend and go away, I will carry off, and none shall rescue.
And he said: “The Lord roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers.”
“Do two walk together, unless they have made an appointment?
Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth, when there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when it has taken nothing?
The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?”
