He shall come

“A lion has gone up from his thicket,
And 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
Without inhabitant.

“Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen I will appoint over it. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can stand before Me?”

There is a sound of the shepherds’ wail,
For their glory is ruined;
There is a sound of the young lions’ roar,
For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.

The swelling

“If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out,
Then how can you compete with horses?
If you fall down in a land of peace,
How will you do in the

thicket of the Jordan?

and when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),

These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.

Who is like

“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,

Awesome in praises, working wonders?

For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the

sons of the mighty is like the Lord,

Who is like the Lord our God,

Who is enthroned on high,

“To whom then will you liken Me
That I would be his equal?” says the Holy One.

Appoint me the time

“If it is a matter of power, behold, He is the strong one!
And if it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

“Oh that I knew where I might find Him,
That I might come to His seat!

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
Let him who reproves God answer it.”

‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand,
Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.”

And do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no man living is righteous.

That shepherd

‘Their leader shall be one of them,
And their ruler shall come forth from their midst;
And I will bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?’ declares the Lord.

“No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him;
Who then is he that can stand before Me?

You, even You, are to be feared;
And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

Who can stand before His indignation?

Who can endure the burning of His anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire
And the rocks are broken up by Him.

for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
