Thus saith Jehovah: Like as the shepherd rescueth out of the jaw of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and upon the damask of a bed.

Will a lion roar in the forest when he hath no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den if he have taken nothing?

The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
