7 And the remnant of Jacob hath been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from Jehovah -- as showers on the herb, That waiteth not for man, nor stayeth for the sons of men. 8 Yea, the remnant of Jacob hath been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it hath passed through, Hath both trodden down and hath torn, And there is no deliverer. 9 High is thy hand above thine adversaries, And all thine enemies are cut off.
10 And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have cut off thy horses from thy midst, And I have destroyed thy chariots, 11 And I have cut off the cities of thy land, And I have thrown down all thy fortresses, 12 And have cut off sorcerers out of thy hand, And observers of clouds thou hast none. 13 And I have cut off thy graven images, And thy standing-pillars out of thy midst, And thou dost not bow thyself any more To the work of thy hands. 14 And I have plucked up thy shrines out of thy midst, And I have destroyed thine enemies. 15 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not hearkened!
