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?”

⁴⁴ Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets^(A)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen^(B) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?^(C)
    And what shepherd can stand against me?”

Listen to the roar of the lions;^(A)
    the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!^(B)
