What are all these Lions to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, if the Lord do but roar, if the Lion of the Tribe of Judah do but come forth against these Lions, they will run to hide themselves, and call to the Rocks and Mountains to cover them, &c. God is said in the Holy Scripture, to destroy these Lions by Degrees,1 he proceeds gradually against them.
First, he stops the roaring of the Lions, they shall not be able to make such a dreadful noise as heretofore; their roaring may be stopped when their Voice is not, tho they can speak, yet they shall not yell.
First, he stops the roaring of the Lions, they shall not be able to make such a dreadful noise as heretofore; their roaring may be stopt when their Voice is not, tho they can speak, yet they shall not yell.
Secondly, In the second place, He breaks the Voice of the Lions, they shall only not roar, but they shall not so much as speak, either against the Lambs, or against the Sheep, or for themselves, The Voice of the fierce Lion shall be taken away. God is able to silence Lions and stop their Mouths, not only from devouring and roaring, but from speaking.
