⁴ This is what God told me: "Like a lion, king of the beasts, that gnaws and chews and worries its prey, Not fazed in the least by a bunch of shepherds who arrive to chase it off, So God-of-the-Angel-Armies comes down to fight on Mount Zion, to make war from its heights.

⁴ For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise [1] of them: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

⁴ For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof.

⁴ For thus says the Lord to me, "As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey , Against which a band of shepherds is called out, And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise , So will the Lord of hosts come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill ."
