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.

But, against my people, as an enemy, he setteth himself, from off the robe, they tear away, the cloak, - from such as are passing by with confidence, as men averse from war.

Ye haters of right, and lovers of wrong, - tearing away their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

I will remove the cities of your land
and tear down all your fortresses.

And the mountains shall melt under Him, and the valleys shall tear themselves, as wax before the fire, and as waters poured down a steep place.
