A Remnant Delivered

• 7 in the midst of many nations,
• like dew from Yahweh,
  • like showers upon the grass
• which does not wait for a man,
  • nor delays for the children of humankind.
  • 8  in the midst of many peoples,
• like a lion among the wild animals of the forest,
  • like a young lion among the herds of sheep
• which, when it passes through and treads down
  • and tears in pieces, there is none who can deliver.
  • 9  and all your foes will be cut off.
  • 10 that in that day,”[fn] Yahweh, “then I will cut off your horses from among you,
  • and I will destroy your chariots.
  • 11  and I will demolish all your fortifications.
  • 12  and you will not have soothsayers.
  • 13  and your stone pillars from among you,
• and you will no longer bow down
  • to the work of your hands.
  • 14  and I will destroy your cities.
• And in anger and in wrath I will execute vengeance
  • on the nations who did not obey.”
