5 Accordingly Samson went on down with his father and his mother to Timʹnah.+ When he* got as far as the vineyards of Timʹnah, why, look! a maned young lion roaring upon meeting him.

30 the lion, which is the mightiest among the beasts and which does not turn back from before anyone;+

4 For this is what Jehovah has said to me: “Just as the lion growls, even the maned young lion,+ over its prey, when there is called out against it a full number of shepherds, [and] in spite of their voice he will not be terrified and in spite of their commotion he will not stoop; in the same way Jehovah of armies will come down to wage war over Mount Zion and over her hill.+

12 “This is what Jehovah has said, ‘Just as the shepherd snatches away from the mouth of the lion two shanks or a piece of an ear,+ so the sons of Israel will be snatched away, those sitting in Sa·marʹi·a on a splendid couch+ and on a Dam·a·sceneʹ divan.’+
