2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit on you all your iniquities.
3 Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare on the earth, where no gin is [set] for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Yahweh has not done it?
7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, except he reveal his secret to his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken; who can but prophesy?
