“Son of man, lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:

You compare yourself to a lion of the nations,
but you are like a monster in the seas.
You thrash about in your rivers,
churn up the waters with your feet,
and muddy the rivers.”

He prowled among the lions,
and he became a young lion.
After he learned to tear prey,
he devoured people.

The form of each of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left, and the face of an eagle.

Each one had four faces: the first face was that of a cherub, the second that of a man, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle.

She brought up one of her cubs,
and he became a young lion.
After he learned to tear prey,
he devoured people.

When she saw that she waited in vain,
that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
and made him a young lion.

a human face turned toward the palm tree on one side, and a lion’s face turned toward it on the other. They were carved throughout the temple on all sides.
