Unless He reveals His secret plan

“Just as the shepherd [fn]snatches from the lion’s mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,

With the corner of a bed and the [fn]cover of a couch!

And will fall to the ground.

The houses of [fn]ivory will also perish,

And the great houses will come to an end,”

Declares the LORD.
