Amos 3:4

3:4 Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? ¹ 

Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?

Amos 5:19

5:19 Disaster will be inescapable, ² 

as if a man ran from a lion only to meet a bear,

then escaped ³  into a house,

leaned his hand against the wall,

and was bitten by a poisonous snake.
