Thematic Bible: Instincts of, in taking prey


Thematic Bible



He is like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

The lion tore enough for his cubs,
Killed enough for his lionesses,
And filled his lairs with prey
And his dens with torn flesh.

He is to me like a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in secret places.

He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair;
He lurks to catch the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.

Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey?
Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has captured something?
