38 They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions' cubs.
The young lions have roared on him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
She said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. He awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free. But he didn't know that Yahweh had departed from him.

"Behold, I am against you," says Yahweh of Hosts, "and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard."
