The Prophet’s Task
3Do two people start travelling together without arranging to meet?
4Does a lion roar in the forest unless he has found a victim?
Does a young lion growl in his den unless he has caught something?
5Does a bird get caught in a trap if the trap has not been baited?
Does a trap spring unless something sets it off?
6Does the war trumpet sound in a city without making the people afraid?
Does disaster strike a city unless the Lord sends it?

“Do two walk together,
unless they have agreed to meet?
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?
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?
Is a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
Does disaster come to a city,
unless the Lord has done it?

when it has no prey?

when it has caught nothing?

when no bait is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
When a trumpet sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?

Can two people walk together
without agreeing on the direction?
Does a lion ever roar in a thicket
without first finding a victim?

without first catching its prey?

that has no bait?
Does a trap spring shut
when there’s nothing to catch?

shouldn’t the people be alarmed?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Do two walk together unless they have met? Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a fierce, young lion cry out from his den unless he has caught something? Does a bird fall into a trapping net on the earth when there is no snare for it? Does a trapping net spring up from the ground unless it has certainly caught something? Or is a horn blown in a city and people are not afraid? Or does a disaster occur in the city and Yahweh has not done it?

KJV 1900King James Version
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?
Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?
Shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
