'Wolves' in the Bible

Their horses [are] more swift than leopards; they are more menacing than wolves [at] dusk. Their horsemen gallop; their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle [that is] swift to devour.
Her officials in her midst [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they leave nothing until the morning.
"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves.
"Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
Go! Behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves!
I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
