Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, While there is none to deliver.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
They gaped upon me with their mouths, As a ravening and a roaring lion.
