'Growling' in the Bible

There is the roaring of the lion and the growling of the young lion, but the teeth of the young lions are broken.

Indeed, this is what the Lord says to me: "The Lord will be like a growling lion, like a young lion growling over its prey. Though a whole group of shepherds gathers against it, it is not afraid of their shouts or intimidated by their yelling. In this same way the Lord who commands armies will descend to do battle on Mount Zion and on its hill.

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