# Be sober
Here the word "sober" refers to mental clarity and alertness. See how you translated this in [1 Peter 1:13](../01/13.md). Alternate translation: "Control your thoughts" or "Be careful about what you think" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
# the devil, is stalking around like a roaring lion ... looking for someone to devour

# stalking around
"walking about" or "walking about and hunting"
