'Tyrant' in the Bible
When all Israel saw that the king did not listen and pay attention to them, the people answered him,“What portion do we have in David?We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.Every man to your tents, O Israel;Now, [Rehoboam, descendant of] David, see to your own house.” So all Israel went to their tents.
All his days the wicked man suffers torment, throughout the number of the years that are stored up for the tyrant.
A roaring lion and a charging bear that's what a wicked tyrant is over poor people.
“The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,The scepter of the [tyrant] rulers
“Sheol below is excited about you to meet you when you come [you tyrant of Babylon];It stirs up the spirits of the dead [to greet you], all the leaders of the earth;It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones [in astonishment at your fall].
The [wicked] dead will not live [again], the spirits of the dead will not rise and return;Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,And You have wiped out every memory of them [every trace of them].
For [the] tyrant shall be no more, and [the] scoffer shall come to an end. And all those lying in wait for evil shall be cut off;
“Can the prey be taken from the mighty man,Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?”
For this is what the Lord says:“Even the captives of a mighty man will be taken,and the prey of a tyrant will be delivered;I will contend with the one who contends with you,and I will save your children.
"And I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you from [the] hand of [the] tyrant."
The Babylonian tyrant pulls them all up with a fishhook; he hauls them in with his throw net. When he catches them in his dragnet, he is very happy.
