^7 (A)A lion has gone up from his thicket,
    a destroyer of nations has set out;
    he has gone out from his place
to make your land a waste;
    your cities will be ruins
    ^(B)without inhabitant.

²⁹ Their roaring is like a lion,
    like young lions they roar;
they growl and ^(A)seize their prey;
    they carry it off, and none can rescue.
