Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?

The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?

Thus says the LORD; As the shepherd takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and on the edge of a couch.

As if a man did flee 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.
