New King James Version
God Will Deliver Jerusalem
4 For thus the Lord has spoken to me:
(A)“As a lion roars,
And a young lion over his prey
(When a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him,
He will not be afraid of their voice
Nor be disturbed by their noise),
So the Lord of hosts will come down
To fight for Mount Zion and for its hill.
Jeremiah 49:19
New King James Version
19 “Behold,(A) he shall come up like a lion from (B)the [a]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For (C)who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And (D)who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”

12 Thus says the Lord:

Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and [b]on the edge of a couch!
