¹³ They open their mouths wide against me, Lions tearing prey and roaring.

²¹ Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!"

¹² He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, As it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

⁸ Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, "I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God."
