'Cubs' in the Bible

Hushai went on to say, "You know your father and his men -- they are soldiers and are as dangerous as a bear out in the wild that has been robbed of her cubs. Your father is an experienced soldier; he will not stay overnight with the army.

The mighty lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

Can you lead out the constellations in their seasons, or guide the Bear with its cubs?

It is better for a person to meet a mother bear being robbed of her cubs, than to encounter a fool in his folly.

The Babylonians are all like lions roaring for prey. They are like lion cubs growling for something to eat.

and say: "'What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay among young lions; she reared her cubs.

She reared one of her cubs; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured people.

"'When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope was lost. She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.

Just as lion cubs are born predators, so Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter.

I will attack them like a bear robbed of her cubs -- I will rip open their chests. I will devour them there like a lion -- like a wild animal would tear them apart.

The lion tore apart as much prey as his cubs needed and strangled prey to provide food for his lionesses; he filled his lairs with prey and his dens with torn flesh.
