For thus saith Jehovah unto me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Jehovah of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.

For the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.

Διοτι ουτως ελαλησε Κυριος προς εμε· Καθως ο λεων και ο σκυμνος του λεοντος βρυχωμενος επι το θηραμα αυτου, αν και συνηχθη εναντιον αυτου πληθος βοσκων, δεν πτοειται εις την φωνην αυτων ουδε συστελλεται εις τον θορυβον αυτων· ουτως ο Κυριος των δυναμεων θελει καταβη δια να πολεμηση υπερ του ορους της Σιων και υπερ των λοφων αυτης.

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 of them: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
