"Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced more true than the truth itself."

Irenaeus: Against Heresies, Book 1

"Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked man ruling over a helpless people." Proverbs 28:15

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." I Peter 5:8
