3Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
4Will 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?
5Can 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?
6Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Yahweh has not done it?
7Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, except he reveal his secret to his servants the prophets.
8The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken; who can but prophesy?
9Publish you in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst of it.
