They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.

he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.

Like lions crouched in hiding, they wait to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters they capture the helpless and drag them away in nets.

For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O LORD.

Faithful men have disappeared from the land; there are no godly men left. They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; they hunt their own brother with a net.

With all my strength I will say,“ O LORD, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”

You pierce the heads of his warriors with a spear. They storm forward to scatter us; they shout with joy as if they were plundering the poor with no opposition.

The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.

Where now is the den of the lions, the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, lioness, and lion cub once prowled and no one disturbed them?The lion tore apart as much prey as his cubs needed and strangled prey to provide food for his lionesses; he filled his lairs with prey and his dens with torn flesh.

The one who oppresses the poor to increase his own gain and the one who gives to the rich– both end up only in poverty.

Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their crops and exact a grain tax from them, you will not live in the houses you built with chiseled stone, nor will you drink the wine from the fine vineyards you planted.Certainly I am aware of your many rebellious acts and your numerous sins. You torment the innocent, you take bribes, and you deny justice to the needy at the city gate.

The Babylonian tyrant pulls them all up with a fishhook; he hauls them in with his throw net. When he catches them in his dragnet, he is very happy.

So he saves from the sword that comes from their mouth, even the poor from the hand of the powerful.Thus the poor have hope, and iniquity shuts its mouth.

This is what the LORD says:“ Because Israel has committed three covenant transgressions– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They sold the innocent for silver, the needy for a pair of sandals.They trample on the dirt-covered heads of the poor; they push the destitute away. A man and his father go to the same girl; in this way they show disrespect for my moral purity.

“ Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action,” says the LORD.“ I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.”

To me he is like a bear lying in ambush, like a hidden lion stalking its prey.

Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?

Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me.( Selah)

A deceiver’s methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.

Listen to the howling of shepherds, because their magnificence has been destroyed. Listen to the roaring of young lions, because the thickets of the Jordan have been devastated.

Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” The sovereign LORD who commands armies has spoken.

The one who oppresses the poor insults his Creator, but whoever shows favor to the needy honors him.

She reared one of her cubs; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured people.The nations heard about him; he was trapped in their pit. They brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.“‘ When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope was lost. She took another of her cubs and made him a young lion.He walked about among the lions; he became a young lion. He learned to tear prey; he devoured people.

Like a roaring lion or a roving bear, so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have wronged the poor and needy; they have oppressed the foreigner who lives among them and denied them justice.

“ Indeed, there are wicked scoundrels among my people. They lie in wait like bird catchers hiding in ambush. They set deadly traps to catch people.

So do not let them persuade you to do this, because more than forty of them are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request.”

Evil men draw their swords and prepare their bows, to bring down the oppressed and needy, and to slaughter those who are godly.

because he stands at the right hand of the needy, to deliver him from those who threaten his life.
