For this is what the LORD has said to me:“Like a lion roaringor a young lion over its prey—and though a band of shepherds is called out against it,it is not terrified by their shoutingor subdued by their clamor—so the LORD of Hosts will come downto do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
They will roar together like young lions;they will growl like lion cubs.
