He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.

He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;

Judah is a young lion; like a lion full of meat you have become great, my son; now he takes his rest like a lion stretched out and like an old lion; by whom will his sleep be broken?

And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.

And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.

Do you go after food for the she-lion, or get meat so that the young lions may have enough,

See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.

The old lion comes to his end for need of food, and the young of the she-lion go wandering in all directions.

I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.

The sound of their armies will be like the voice of a lion, and their war-cry like the noise of young lions: with loud cries they will come down on their food and will take it away safely, and there will be no one to take it out of their hands.

And he went up and down among the lions and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.

Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.

Will a lion give his loud cry in the woodland when no food is there? will the voice of the young lion be sounding from his hole if he has taken nothing?

Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat.

They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high? On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place. From there he is watching for food; his eye sees it far off.read more.
His young have blood for their drink, and where the dead bodies are, there is he to be seen.

Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

Why are you cruel to me, like God, for ever saying evil against me?

See, I will send for great numbers of fishermen, says the Lord, and they will take them like fish in a net; and after that, I will send for numbers of bowmen, and they will go after them, driving them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

For there are sinners among my people: they keep watch, like men watching for birds; they put a net and take men in it.

Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?

So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

Then do not let my blood be drained out on the earth away from the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel has come out to take my life, like one going after birds in the mountains.

His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords. His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip. The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.

Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders.

The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah.)

Make yourself free, like the roe from the hand of the archer, and the bird from him who puts a net for her.

Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.

And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his land.

Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.

They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;

The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.

And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.

He who is slow in his work does not go in search of food; but the ready worker gets much wealth.
