10 They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.

11 And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith the Lord.

10 They will follow the Lord;
    he will roar(A) like a lion.(B)

11 They will come from Egypt,
    trembling like sparrows,
    from Assyria,(E) fluttering like doves.(F)
