Amos 3:8

The lion has roared,
who will not fear?
The Lord God (Adonai Yahweh) has spoken,
who can refrain from prophesying?"
[The lion was a common animal in the wooded areas of Israel at that time. Therefore, it was widely known that the lion roars just before it pounces on its intended prey, which can then flee if it reacts quickly enough. In the same way, God wants the people to understand his warnings so that they will repent before judgment comes upon them.]
