My soul is among lions I live in the midst of a generation of fierce and bloody men; I lie That is, I have my abode; among them that are set on fire Namely, of, or from hell, James 3:6, who are mere firebrands and incendiaries, that are continually breathing out their wrath and threatenings. Even the sons of men Whereby he explains what he meant by lions, and tells us that they were beasts in the shape of men; whose teeth With which they gnash upon me, and with which they would, as it were, tear me to pieces, or eat me up; are spears and arrows Fitted for mischiefs and murders; and their tongue With which they wound my reputation, and load me with their curses, is a sharp sword To cut and give deadly wounds.
