2 The frightfulness of a king is a growling like that of a maned young lion.+ Anyone drawing his fury against himself is sinning against his own soul.+
7 He has gone up as a lion out of his thicket,+ and the one who is bringing the nations to ruin has pulled away;+ he has gone forth from his place in order to render your* land as an object of astonishment. Your own cities will fall in ruins so that there will be no inhabitant.+
“Jehovah—out of Zion he will roar,+ and out of Jerusalem he will give forth his voice;+ and the pasture grounds of the shepherds must go to mourning, and the summit of Carʹmel must dry up.”+
