3 “Do two walk together,

unless they have made an appointment?

4 Does a lion roar in the forest,

when he has no prey?

Does a young lion cry out from his den,

if he has taken nothing?

5 Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth,

when there is no trap for it?

Does a snare spring up from the ground,

when it has taken nothing?

6 Is a trumpet blown in a city,

and the people are not afraid?

Does evil befall a city,

unless the Lord has done it?

7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing,

without revealing his secret

to his servants the prophets.

8 The lion has roared;

who will not fear?

The Lord GOD has spoken;

who can but prophesy?”
