For this H3541 is H3541 what H3541 the LORD H3068 says H559 to me:

“As the lion H738 or the young H3715 lion H3715 growls H1897 over H5921 his prey H2964,

Against H5921 which H834 a band H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called H7121 out H7121,

And he will not be terrified H2865 at their voice H6963 nor H3808 disturbed H6031 at their noise H1995,

So H3651 will the LORD H3068 of armies H6635 come H3381 down H3381 to wage H6633 war H6633 on Mount H2022 Zion H6726 and on its hill H1389.”
