4  For thus the Lord said to me,

“As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey,

and when a band of shepherds is called out against him

he is not terrified by their shouting

or daunted at their noise,

so the Lord of hosts will come down

to fight¹ on Mount Zion and on its hill.

“‘The Lord will ^froar from on high,

and from ^ghis holy habitation utter his voice;

he will roar mightily against his fold,

and shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

10  They shall go after the Lord;

^ahe will roar like a lion;

when he roars,

^bhis children shall come trembling from the west;

8  ^kThe lion has roared;

who will not fear?

The Lord God has spoken;

^lwho can but prophesy?”
