Lions » Instincts of, in taking prey
He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.
The lion tore apart as much prey as his cubs needed and strangled prey to provide food for his lionesses; he filled his lairs with prey and his dens with torn flesh.
(Dalet) To me he is like a bear lying in ambush, like a hidden lion stalking its prey.
He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed; he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.
Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?
