'Wolves' in the Bible
Her officials are like wolves in her midst rending their prey -- shedding blood and destroying lives -- so they can get dishonest profit.
Their horses are faster than leopards and more alert than wolves in the desert. Their horses gallop, their horses come a great distance; like a vulture they swoop down quickly to devour their prey.
Her princes are as fierce as roaring lions; her rulers are as hungry as wolves in the desert, who completely devour their prey by morning.
"Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves.
"I am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
I know that after I am gone fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
