He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, And cursed be every one that curseth thee.
Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness, And as a lion doth he lift himself up: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.
He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert;\par\tab He lieth in wait to catch the poor:\par\tab He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
