4  For thus the Lord said to me,

^d“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,

^eso the Lord of hosts will come down

to fight¹ on Mount Zion and on its hill.

^b“‘The Lord will roar from on high,

and from his holy habitation utter his voice;

he will roar mightily against his fold,

^cand shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

16  ^dThe Lord roars from Zion,

and ^dutters his voice from Jerusalem,

^eand the heavens and the earth quake.

But the Lord is ^fa refuge to his people,

a stronghold to the people of Israel.

^g“The Lord roars from Zion

and utters his voice from Jerusalem;

^hthe pastures of the shepherds mourn,

and the ⁱtop of ^jCarmel withers.”
