“As the ^(A)lion or the young lion growls over its prey,
Against which a multitude of shepherds is called out,
And it will not be dismayed at their voice nor afflicted at their noise,
So will Yahweh of hosts come down to wage ^(B)war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”

¹⁶ And Yahweh ^(A)roars from Zion
And ^(B)gives forth His voice from Jerusalem,
And the ^(C)heavens and the earth quake.
But Yahweh is a ^(D)refuge for His people
And a ^(E)strong defense to the sons of Israel.

“^[a](A)Yahweh roars from Zion
And from Jerusalem He gives forth His voice;
And the shepherds’ ^(B)pasture grounds mourn,
And the ^[b](C)top of Carmel dries up.”
