'Lions' in the Bible

The young lions have roared at him, and yelled. They have made his land waste. His cities are burned up, without inhabitant.

Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.

They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' cubs.
