Thematic Bible: Ravenous


Thematic Bible



Therefore a lion from the forest will slay them,
A wolf of the deserts will destroy them,
A leopard is watching their cities.
Everyone who goes out of them will be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many,
Their apostasies are numerous.

He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
In the morning he devours the prey,
And in the evening he divides the spoil.”

Her princes within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are wolves at evening;
They leave nothing for the morning.

Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain.
