Ezek. 19:1‑4,6• 1Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
2and say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
3And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
4The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
6And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey and devoured men. (Ezek. 19:1‑4,6)
Ezek. 38:12‑13• 12to take spoil and to take prey, to turn thy hand against the wastes that are inhabited and against a people gathered out of the nations, gathering cattle and goods, dwelling in the midst of the land.
13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? (Ezek. 38:12‑13)
Dan. 7:4‑8,17‑28• 4The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings: {i}I beheld till its wings were plucked; and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and{/i} a man's heart was given to it.
5And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side{i}, and{/i} it had three ribs in the mouth of it, between the teeth of it; and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6{i}After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, and{/i} upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7After this I saw in the night-visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly, and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it, and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; {i}and{/i} it had ten horns.
8I considered the ten horns that were in its head, and behold there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth that spake very great things,
17These great beasts, which are four, are four kings which shall arise out of the earth.
18But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, {i}even to the ages of ages{/i}.
19{i}Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet;{/i}
20{i}And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that{/i} had eyes{i},{/i} and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23{i}He said thus: The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.{/i}
24{i}And as to the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall subdue three kings.{/i}
25{i}And he{/i} shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High , and think to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hands, until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26{i}And the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.{/i}
27{i}But the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens, shall be given to{/i} the people of the saints of the Most High {i}places. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.{/i}
28{i}So far is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart{/i}. (Dan. 7:4‑8,17‑28)
