Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey?
Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has captured something?

Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no bait in it?
Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?

Surely the Lord God does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets.

Do horses run on rocks?
Or does one plow them with oxen?
Yet you have turned justice into poison
And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

That they may possess the remnant of Edom
And all the nations who are called by My name,”
Declares the Lord who does this.
