They open wide their mouths at me, like a raging and roaring lion.
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have struck me upon the cheek with reproach; they have gathered themselves together against me.
like a lion eager to rip its prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
Save me from the lion’s mouth! From the horns of the wild oxen You have rescued me.
All who see me mock me; they sneer with the lip; they shake the head, saying,
Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from the lions!
They opened wide their mouths against me, and said, “Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.”
lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up! Certainly this is the day that we longed for; we have found it; we have seen it.”
All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
