7 Then the remnant of Jacob,
surrounded by many peoples,
shall be like dew from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,
which do not depend upon people
or wait for any mortal.(A)
8 And among the nations the remnant of Jacob,
surrounded by many peoples,
shall be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,

and tears in pieces, with no one to deliver.(B)
9 Your hand shall be lifted up over your adversaries,
and all your enemies shall be cut off.(C)

and all your foes will be destroyed.
