Old lion

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

You are a lion's cub, Judah, from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouches and lies down like a lion; like a lioness -- who will rouse him?

Indeed, the people will rise up like a lioness, and like a lion raises himself up; they will not lie down until they eat their prey, and drink the blood of the slain."

They crouch and lie down like a lion, and as a lioness, who can stir him? Blessed is the one who blesses you, and cursed is the one who curses you!'"

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

Like a lion that has come up from its lair the one who destroys nations has set out from his home base. He is coming out to lay your land waste. Your cities will become ruins and lie uninhabited.

He will roar like a lion, and they will follow the Lord; when he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion's mouth!

Perisheth

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

The stout

and suddenly a great wind swept across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they died! And I -- only I alone -- escaped to tell you!"

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?

If his children increase -- it is for the sword! His offspring never have enough to eat.
