'Lion' in the Bible
As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle.
And each one had four faces. The first face was the face of a cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
‘When she brought up one of her cubs,He became a lion,And he learned to tear his prey;He devoured men.
‘When she saw, as she waited,That her hope was lost,She took another of her cubsAnd made him a young lion.
‘And he walked about among the lions;He became a young lion,He learned to tear his prey;He devoured men.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst like a roaring lion tearing the prey. They have devoured lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in the midst of her.
“Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,‘You compared yourself to a young lion of the nations,Yet you are like the monster in the seas;And you burst forth in your riversAnd muddied the waters with your feetAnd fouled their rivers.’”
