Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.

Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

44 “Behold,a he shall come up like a lion from the1 floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will make them suddenly run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And bwho is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”
