For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before, me?

Lo! as a lion, shall he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, Unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink - I will make them run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom against it, I may set in charge?
