Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away, and no one can rescue it.

Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.

Here: 'Roaring': the continuous form shows an ongoing habit. A lion roars over prey it has caught or is about to seize (Amos 3:4), so the roar is a sound of attack and of claiming the kill.
