Isaiah 5:29

Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

KJV

Rugitus ejus ut leonis ; rugiet ut catuli leonum : et frendet, et tenebit prædam, et amplexabitur, et non erit qui eruat.

Vulgate

ὀργιῶσιν ὡς λέοντες, παρέστηκαν ὡς σκύμνοι λέοντος· καὶ ἐπιλήμψεται, καὶ βοήσει ὡς θηρίον, καὶ ἐκβαλεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ῥυόμενος αὐτούς,

LXX

their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
