“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.”

¹⁶ The Lord ^(A)roars from Zion
And ^(B)utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the ^(C)heavens and the earth tremble.
But the Lord is a ^(D)refuge for His people
And a ^(E)stronghold to the sons of Israel.

² He said,
“The ^(A)Lord roars from Zion
And from Jerusalem He utters His voice;
And the shepherds’ ^(B)pasture grounds mourn,
And the ^[a](C)summit of Carmel dries up.”
