And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples as a lion among the beasts of the forests, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who when he shall go through and tread down, and take, there is none to deliver.

Thy hand shall be lifted up over thy enemies, and all thy enemies shall be cut off.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will take away thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots.

11 And I will destroy the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strong holds, and I will take away sorceries out of thy hand, and there shall be no divinations in thee.

12 And I will destroy thy graven things, and thy statues out of the midst of thee: and thou shalt no more adore the works of thy hands.

13 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: and will crush thy cities.

14 And I will execute vengeance in wrath and in indignation among all the nations that have not given ear.

The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,(A)
    like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles(B) as it goes,
    and no one can rescue.(C)
Your hand will be lifted up(D) in triumph over your enemies,
    and all your foes will be destroyed.

10 “In that day,” declares the Lord,

“I will destroy your horses from among you
    and demolish your chariots.(E)
11 I will destroy the cities(F) of your land
    and tear down all your strongholds.(G)
12 I will destroy your witchcraft
    and you will no longer cast spells.(H)
13 I will destroy your idols(I)
    and your sacred stones from among you;(J)
you will no longer bow down
    to the work of your hands.(K)
14 I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles[a](L)
    when I demolish your cities.
15 I will take vengeance(M) in anger and wrath
    on the nations that have not obeyed me.”
