A Remnant Shall Be Delivered

Then wthe remnant of Jacob shall be

in the midst of many peoples

like dew from the Lord,

like a lion among the beasts of the forest,

like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,

ewhich, when it goes through, treads down

and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
