'Taken' in the Bible

“They stretch out beside every [pagan] altar on clothes taken in pledge [to secure a loan, disregarding God’s command],And in the house of their God [in contempt of Him] they frivolously drink the wine [which has been] taken from those who have been fined.

Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey?Does a young lion growl from his den if he has not captured something?

You who [self-confidently] rejoice in Lo-debar (Nothing),Who say, “Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim (Strength) for ourselves?”
