They are like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.
lest like a lion they rend me, dragging me away, with none to rescue.
Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.
he lurks in secret like a lion in his covert; he lurks that he may seize the poor, he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.
But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength to proclaim the message fully, that all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth.
they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
