like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

潛伏幽暗、如獅在林、伺捕貧人、曳其網而獲之、

彼若獅兮、穴視而耽耽、執貧民兮、羅網之是張、攘奪之是行兮、

暗中潛伏、如獅在洞穴、潛伏以擄掠窮人、窮人陷其網中、遂擄掠之、

耽耽虎視。窮民遭殃。

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.

he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize a victim; he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.

He lurks in secret like a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the needy; He catches the needy when he pulls him into his net.

He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize the afflicted; he seizes the afflicted and drags him in his net.

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.

He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed; he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.

They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.

The faithful have been swept from the land; not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait to shed blood; they hunt each other with nets.

My whole being will exclaim,“ Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.”

With his own spear you pierced his head when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though about to devour the wretched who were in hiding.

The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

Where now is the lions’ den, the place where they fed their young, where the lion and lioness went, and the cubs, with nothing to fear?The lion killed enough for his cubs and strangled the prey for his mate, filling his lairs with the kill and his dens with the prey.

One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich— both come to poverty.

You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine.For I know how many are your offenses and how great your sins. There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.

The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his dragnet; and so he rejoices and is glad.

He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.

This is what the Lord says:“ For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not relent. They sell the innocent for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.They trample on the heads of the poor as on the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name.

“ Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord.“ I will protect them from those who malign them.”

Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding,

Does a lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey? Does it growl in its den when it has caught nothing?

The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.

Scoundrels use wicked methods, they make up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

Listen to the wail of the shepherds; their rich pastures are destroyed! Listen to the roar of the lions; the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!

What do you mean by crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he became a man- eater.The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt.“‘ When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he became a man- eater.

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice.

“ Among my people are the wicked who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch people.

Don’t give in to them, because more than forty of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request.”

The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

For he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
