Esther 14:13

Lion. This expression seems not sufficiently respectful. (Capellus) But why might not Esther use it with regard to one, who was raging against her people more than any lion, as St. Paul applies it to Nero, probably after her example? (Houbigant) (2 Timothy iv. 17.) David also thus styles Saul and his persecutors in general, Psalm vii. 3. (Calmet)
