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

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

Thus says LORD: As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed.

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.
