³ Therefore Israel will be abandoned^(A)
    until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
    to join the Israelites.

⁷ The remnant^(A) of Jacob will be
    in the midst of many peoples
like dew^(B) from the Lord,
    like showers on the grass,^(C)
which do not wait for anyone
    or depend on man.
⁸ The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
    in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,^(D)
    like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which mauls and mangles^(E) as it goes,
    and no one can rescue.^(F)
