Job 4:12

10 The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.

11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.

13 In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

14 fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.
