For so Jehovah has said to me: As the lion roars, even the young lion on his prey when the band of shepherds are called against him, he will not fear their voice, and not is humbled because of their noise. So Jehovah of Hosts shall go down to fight on Mount Zion, and on its hill.
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep (who both tramples and tears in pieces if he passes through, and there is none snatching back).
Behold, the people shall rise like a lioness and as a lion he shall lift himself up; he shall not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.
