⁹ He hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee 'is' blessed, And he who is cursing thee 'is' cursed.'

⁹ He crouched, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you."

⁹ Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to arouse her? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you."

⁹ " He couches , he lies down as a lion , And as a lion , who dares rouse him? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, And cursed is everyone who curses you."
