⁵ When she saw that she was thwarted,
    that her hope was lost,
she took another of her cubs
    and made him a young lion.^(A)
6 He prowled among the lions;
    he became a young lion,
and he learned to catch prey;
    he devoured people.^(B)
7 And he ravaged their strongholds^[a]
    and laid waste their towns;
the land was appalled, and all in it,
    at the sound of his roaring.^(C)

⁸ And among the nations the remnant of Jacob,
    surrounded by many peoples,
shall be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
    like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
which, when it goes through, treads down
    and tears in pieces, with no one to deliver.^(A)
