Amos 3:4
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
KJV
numquid rugiet leo in saltu, nisi habuerit prædam ? numquid dabit catulus leonis vocem de cubili suo, nisi aliquid apprehenderit ?
Vulgate
εἰ ἐρεύξεται λέων ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ αὐτοῦ θήραν οὐκ ἔχων; εἰ δώσει σκύμνος φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς μάνδρας αὐτοῦ καθόλου ἐὰν μὴ ἁρπάσῃ τι;
LXX
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
