6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “lion” →
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
