'Lions' in the Bible

The young lions have made an outcry against him with a loud voice: they have made his land waste; his towns are burned up, with no one living in them.

Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have been driving him away: first he was attacked by the king of Assyria, and now his bones have been broken by Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

They will be crying out together like lions, their voices will be like the voices of young lions.
