For thus says the Lord to me,

“As the (A)lion or the young lion growls over his prey,
Against which a band of shepherds is called out,
And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise,
So will the Lord of hosts come down to wage (B)war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”
Like [a]flying (C)birds so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem.
He will (D)protect and deliver it;
He will pass over and rescue it.

(E)Return to Him from whom [b]you have (F)deeply defected, O sons of Israel.
