The ungodly fleeth, no man chasing him; but the righteous standeth stiff as a lion.

Yea, the residue of Jacob shall be among the gentiles and the multitude of people, as the lion among the beasts of the wood, and as the Lion's whelps among a flock of sheep: which, when he goeth through, treadeth down, teareth in pieces, and there is no man that can help.

The ungodly fleeth, no man chasing him; but the righteous standeth stiff as a lion.
