4 Does a lion roar in the forestwhen it has no prey?Does a young lion cry out from its denunless it has seized something?

6 Does the ram’s horn sound in a citywithout the people becoming frightened?Does disaster befall a cityunless the Lord has caused it?
7 (Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.)
8 The lion has roared,who would not fear?The Lord God has spoken,who would not prophesy?
9 Proclaim this in the strongholds of Assyria,in the strongholds of the land of Egypt:“Gather on the mount of Samaria,and see the great disorders within it,the oppressions within its midst.”
