⁸ God brings him out of Egypt.
    He has as it were the strength of the wild ox.
He shall consume the nations his adversaries,
    shall break their bones in pieces,
    and pierce them with his arrows.
⁹ He couched, he lay down as a lion,
    as a lioness;
    who shall rouse him up?
Everyone who blesses you is blessed.
    Everyone who curses you is cursed.”

²³ Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives.
    In their death, they were not divided.
They were swifter than eagles.
    They were stronger than lions.
