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?

A lion has roared! Who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

Thus says the Lord,
“Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,
So will the sons of Israel dwelling in Samaria be snatched away—
With the corner of a bed and the cover of a couch!

As when a man flees from a lion
And a bear meets him,
Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.
