Verse 4

For thus hath the LORD{H3068} spoken{H559}{(H8804)} unto me, Like as the lion{H738} and the young lion{H3715} roaring{H1897}{(H8799)} on his prey{H2964}, when a multitude{H4393} of shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} is called forth{H7121}{(H8735)} against him, he will not be afraid{H2865}{(H8735)} of their voice{H6963}, nor abase{H6031}{(H8799)} himself for the noise{H1995} of them: so shall the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} come down{H3381}{(H8799)} to fight{H6633}{(H8800)} for mount{H2022} Zion{H6726}, and for the hill{H1389} thereof.
