See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make him go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will be able to keep his place before me?
Keepers of sheep with their flocks will come to her; they will put up their tents round her; everyone will get food in his place.
Tent » By shepherds

Keepers of sheep with their flocks will come to her; they will put up their tents round her; everyone will get food in his place.
