He is likea lionthat is eagerto tear,And as a younglionlurkingin hidingplaces.
He lurksin a hidingplaceas a lionin his lair;He lurksto catchthe afflicted;He catchesthe afflictedwhen he drawshim into his net.
They openwidetheir mouthat me, As a raveningand a roaringlion.
Orhe will tearmy soullike a lion,Draggingme away,while thereis noneto deliver.
But the Lordstoodwith me and strengthenedme, sothat throughme the proclamationmight be fully accomplished,and that allthe Gentilesmight hear;and I was rescuedout of the lion'smouth.
Be of sober[spirit], be on the alert.Your adversary,the devil,prowls aroundlikea roaringlion,seekingsomeoneto devour.
