Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
