¹³ I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

²¹ Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

⁴⁶ The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.

¹⁶ All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.

¹² Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.

¹⁰ Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

⁸ Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

⁶¹ But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

⁶² And the high priest got up and said to him, Have you no answer? what is it which these say against you?

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, You say so: but I say to you, From now you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

³ Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

⁴ And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

²⁷ Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.

²⁸ And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.

¹⁷ Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

²¹ Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

⁷ I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

² So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.
