3 Do two walk together unless they have met?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a fierce, young lion cry out from his den unless he has caught something?
5 Does a bird fall into a trapping net on the earth when there is no snare for it? Does a trapping net spring up from the ground unless it has certainly caught something?
6 Or is a horn blown in a city and people are not afraid? Or does a disaster occur in the city and Yahweh has not done it?
7 Surely my Lord does not do anything unless he has revealed his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? My Lord Yahweh has spoken, who will not prophesy?
