⁷ Then the ^(A)remnant of Jacob
Will be among many peoples
Like ^(B)dew from Yahweh,
Like ^(C)showers on vegetation
Which do not hope for man
Or wait for the sons of men.
⁸ Then the remnant of Jacob
Will be among the nations,
Among many peoples
^(D)Like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
Like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
Which, if it passes through,
^(E)Tramples down and ^(F)tears,
And there is ^(G)none to deliver.

¹⁸ Who is a God like You, who ^(A)forgives iniquity
And passes over the transgression of the ^(B)remnant of His inheritance?
He does not ^(C)hold fast to His anger forever
Because He ^(D)delights in lovingkindness.
