“Do you hunt prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite ¹  of the lions,

The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. ¹ 

The Babylonians are all like lions roaring for prey. They are like lion cubs growling for something to eat. ¹ 

There is ¹  the roaring of the lion ²  and the growling ³  of the young lion, but the teeth of the young lions are broken. ⁴ 

He ¹  is like a lion ²  that wants to tear its prey to bits, ³  like a young lion crouching ⁴  in hidden places.

O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? ¹  Rescue ²  me ³  from their destructive attacks; guard my life ⁴  from the young lions!

You will subdue ¹  a lion and a snake; ²  you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent.

A king’s wrath is like ¹  the roar of a lion, ²  but his favor is like dew on the grass. ³ 

The king’s terrifying anger ¹  is like the roar of a lion; whoever provokes him ²  sins against himself. ³ 

The wicked person flees when there is no one pursuing, ¹  but the righteous person is as confident ²  as a lion.

Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

O God, break the teeth in their mouths! Smash the jawbones of the lions, O Lord!

Their roar is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.

Like lions his enemies roar victoriously over him; they raise their voices in triumph. ¹  They have laid his land waste; his cities have been burned down and deserted. ² 

and say: “‘What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay among young lions; ¹  she reared her cubs.

She reared one of her cubs; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured people. ¹ 

“‘When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope was lost. She took another of her cubs ¹  and made him a young lion.

He walked about among the lions; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured people.

Samson went down to Timnah. When he approached ¹  the vineyards of Timnah, he saw a roaring young lion attacking him. ² 

Sanballat and Geshem sent word to me saying, “Come on! Let’s set up a time to meet together at Kephirim ¹  in the plain of Ono.” Now they intended to do me harm.
