⁴ Does a lion roar in the forest
    when it has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from its den
    if it has caught nothing?^(A)

²¹ The young lions roar for their prey,
    seeking their food from God.^(A)

⁸ The lion has roared;
    who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken;
    who can but prophesy?^(A)

¹⁴ For I will be like a lion to Ephraim
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear and go away;
    I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.^(A)
