A Remnant Delivered

• 7 And the remnant of Jacob will be
  • 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 And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations,
  • 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 Your hand will be lifted high over your enemies,
  • and all your foes will be cut off.
• 10 “And it will happen that in that day,” declares[fn] Yahweh,
  • “then I will cut off your horses from among you,
  • and I will destroy your chariots.
• 11 And I will cut off the cities of your land,
  • and I will demolish all your fortifications.
• 12 And I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
  • and you will not have soothsayers.
• 13 And I will cut off your idols
  • and your stone pillars from among you,
• and you will no longer bow down
  • to the work of your hands.
• 14 And I will uproot your Asherahs from among you,
  • and I will destroy your cities.
• 15 And in anger and in wrath I will execute vengeance
  • on the nations who did not obey.”
