Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Suddenly a young lion came roaring at him,

Sanballat and Geshem sent me a message: “Come, let’s meet together in the villages of[fn] the Ono Valley.” They were planning to harm me.

The lion may roar and the fierce lion growl,

but the teeth of young lions are broken.

Can you hunt prey for a lioness

or satisfy the appetite of young lions

They are[fn] like a lion eager to tear,

like a young lion lurking in ambush.

Young lions[fn] lack food and go hungry,

but those who seek the LORD

will not lack any good thing.

Lord, how long will you look on?

Rescue me from their ravages;

rescue my precious life from the young lions.

God, knock the teeth out of their mouths;

LORD, tear out the young lions’ fangs.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

The young lions roar for their prey

and seek their food from God.

A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion,

but his favor is like dew on the grass.

A king’s terrible wrath is like the roaring of a lion;

anyone who provokes him endangers himself.

The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them,

but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Their roaring is like a lion’s;

they roar like young lions;

they growl and seize their prey

and carry it off,

and no one can rescue it.

The wolf will dwell with the lamb,

and the leopard will lie down with the goat.

The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf will be together,

and a child will lead them.

For this is what the LORD said to me:

As a lion or young lion growls over its prey

when a band of shepherds is called out against it,

and it is not terrified by their shouting

or subdued by their noise,

so the LORD of Armies will come down

to fight on Mount Zion

and on its hill.

The young lions have roared at him;

they have roared loudly.

They have laid waste his land.

His cities are in ruins, without inhabitants.

He has left his den like a lion,

for their land has become a desolation

because of the sword[fn] of the oppressor,

because of his burning anger.

They will roar together like young lions;

they will growl like lion cubs.

“and say:

What was your mother? A lioness!

She lay down among the lions;

she reared her cubs among the young lions.

“When she saw that she waited in vain,

that her hope was lost,

she took another of her cubs

and made him a young lion.

“Son of man, lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,

‘You compare yourself to a lion of the nations,

but[fn] you are like a monster[fn] in the seas.

You thrash about in your rivers,

churn up the waters with your feet,

and muddy the[fn] rivers.

Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its rulers[fn] will ask you, “Have you come to seize spoil? Have you mobilized your assembly to carry off plunder, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions, to seize plenty of spoil? ” ’

For I am like a lion to Ephraim

and like a young lion to the house of Judah.

Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart.

I will carry them off,

and no one can rescue them.

Does a lion roar in the forest

when it has no prey?

Does a young lion growl from its lair

unless it has captured something?

Then the remnant of Jacob

will be among the nations, among many peoples,

like a lion among animals of the forest,

like a young lion among flocks of sheep,

which tramples and tears as it passes through,

and there is no one to rescue them.

Where is the lions’ lair,

or the feeding ground of the young lions,

where the lion and lioness prowled,

and the lion’s cub,

with nothing to frighten them away?

Beware, I am against you.

This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

I will make your chariots go up in smoke,[fn]

and the sword will devour your young lions.

I will cut off your prey from the earth,

and the sound of your messengers

will never be heard again.

Listen to the wail of the shepherds,

for their glory is destroyed.

Listen to the roar of young lions,

for the thickets of the Jordan are[fn] destroyed.
