Wolves.

Jesus warns, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). He also says to recognize them “by their fruits” (v.20). Note: he tells his disciples to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16), but that describes the disciples’ approach, not the false teachers.
