(A)“As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey,
    and when a band of shepherds is called out against him
he is not terrified by their shouting
    or daunted at their noise,
(B)so the Lord of hosts will come down
    to fight[a] on Mount Zion and on its hill.
(C)Like birds hovering, so the Lord of hosts
    will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it;
    he will spare and rescue it.”

(D)Turn to him from whom people[b] have (E)deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
