their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps.
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and rapine; the prey departeth not.
