Leopard » Fierceness of

A wolf of the deserts will destroy them,
A leopard is watching their cities.

Because their transgressions are many,
Their desertions of faith are countless.

Or the leopard his spots?

Like a leopard I will watch and lie in wait [ready to attack] by the road [to Assyria].

And keener than [hungry] wolves in the evening,
Their horsemen come galloping,
Their horsemen come from far away;
They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.
