¹⁵ Lions^(A) have roared;
    they have growled at him.
They have laid waste^(B) his land;
    his towns are burned^(C) and deserted.^(D)

⁶ Therefore a lion from the forest^(A) will attack them,
    a wolf from the desert will ravage^(B) them,
a leopard^(C) will lie in wait near their towns
    to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
    and their backslidings many.^(D)

¹⁹ “Like a lion^(A) coming up from Jordan’s thickets^(B)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like^(C) me and who can challenge me?^(D)
    And what shepherd^(E) can stand against me?”
