3 “Do two walk together,unless they have agreed to meet?
4 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?
5 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?
