'Lion' in the Bible
Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.
He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed; he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.
He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.
They open their mouths to devour me like a roaring lion that rips its prey.
Yes, wild dogs surround me -- a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet.
Rescue me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered me!
You will subdue a lion and a snake; you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent.
