³Do two walk together unless they have met? ⁴Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey?^c Does a fierce, young lion cry out from his den unless he has caught something? ⁵Does 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? ⁶Or 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?
