22 God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a Reem is to him;

23 For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, Nor divination against Israel, At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel, What hath God wrought!

24 Lo, the people as a lioness riseth, And as a lion he lifteth himself up, He lieth not down till he eateth prey, And blood of pierced ones doth drink.'

22 God brought them out of Egypt;(A)
    they have the strength of a wild ox.(B)
23 There is no divination against[a] Jacob,
    no evil omens(C) against[b] Israel.
It will now be said of Jacob
    and of Israel, ‘See what God has done!’
24 The people rise like a lioness;(D)
    they rouse themselves like a lion(E)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
    and drinks the blood(F) of its victims.”
