3Do two walk together,unless they have agreed? 4Will a lion roar in the thicket,when he has no prey?Does a young lion cry out of his den,if he has caught nothing? 5Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth,where no snare is set for him?Does a snare spring up from the ground,when there is nothing to catch? 6Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city,without the people being afraid?Does evil happen to a city,and Yahweh hasn’t done it? 7Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing,unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
