Footnotes
The shift to singular ('he is like a lion') may focus on a ringleader, or the collective enemy is now personified as a single predator. כָּסַף (*kasaf*, 'to long/crave intensely') is a word of deep desire — this lion does not merely hunt; it *aches* to tear. כְּפִיר (*kefir*) is a young lion in its physical prime — swift, powerful, and untempered by mercy. FOG renders 'hungry to tear apart' to honour the craving; FOG Message uses 'craving the kill' to make the predatory hunger visceral.
