Will a lion roar in the forest, when, prey, he hath none? Will a young lion utter his voice out of his den, when he hath made no capture?

She hath fallen - she cannot again rise, the virgin, Israel, - she lieth forsaken on her soil, there is none to raise her up.

Seek ye Yahweh, and live, - lest he break forth, like a fire, upon the house of Joseph, and it devour with none to quench it, for Bethel.
