The sluggard saith, There is a lion in the way; A lion is in the streets.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth; But the righteous are bold as a lion.

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear,'so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.

The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own life.

The sluggard saith, There is a lion without: I shall be slain in the streets.
