OET (OET-RV) Would a lion roar in the forest when he doesn’t have any prey?
⇔ ≈ Would a young lion growl from his den if he’s caught nothing?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no victim?
(Some words not found in UHB: does,it_roar? lion in,forest and,prey not to=him/it does,it_give_forth? young_lion voice_of,its from,den_of,its nothing if caught )
Amos uses this question to remind people of what they already know about what causes a lion to roar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: [A lion will roar in the forest only when he has a victim.]
