44 Look, like a lion he comes up from the thicketsl of the Jordan

against ⌊a pastureland by a constantly flowing stream⌋,m

so ⌊I will chase them away quickly⌋n from her,

and I will appoint whoever is chosen over her.

For who is like me, and who can summon me,

and who is this shepherd who can stand ⌊before me⌋?o

45 ⌊Therefore⌋p hear the plan of Yahweh

that he has planned against Babylon,

and his plans

that he has planned against the land of the Chaldeans.

⌊Surely⌋q they will drag them away,

the little ones of the flock.

⌊Surely⌋r he will cause their grazing place

to be desolate over them.
