'Lion' in the Bible

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
