This is what the Lord said to me:

As a lion or a lion cub
    growls over its prey,
and when a band of shepherds
    gather together to drive it off,
it is not frightened by their shouting
    or daunted by their clamor,
so the Lord of hosts will come down
    to do battle on the heights of Mount Zion.
Like a hovering bird
    the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it,
    he will spare and rescue it.
Come back to the one
    whom you have completely deserted,
    O children of Israel.
