'Cubs' in the Bible
"You know how strong your father and his men are. They're as mad as a bear robbed of her cubs! Furthermore, your father is a skilled warrior. He won't stay with his army at night.
Full grown lions die when they cannot find prey; that's when the lion cubs are scattered.
Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs?
It's better to meet a mother bear who has lost her cubs than a fool in his stupidity.
They'll roar together like young lions; they'll growl like lion cubs.
Tell them: "What a lioness your mother was among lions! She reared her cubs in the midst of fierce young males.
When she learned that her plans had been frustrated and that her hopes were dashed, she took another of her cubs and turned him into a fierce lion.
I will confront them like a bear deprived of her cubs; I will tear open their ribs. I will devour them like a lion the wild beasts will rip them apart.
