7. Then the few people left from Jacob will be among many peoplelike dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass.They do not put their hope in humans or wait for mortals.
8. The few people left from Jacob will be among the nations,among many people.They will be like a lion among animals in the forest,like a young lion among flocks of sheep.When a lion hunts,it tramples ⌊its victims⌋ and tears ⌊them⌋ to pieces,and there is no one to rescue them.
9. You will use your power against your opponents,and all your enemies will be destroyed.
10. “When that day comes,” declares the Lord,“I will destroy your horsesand demolish your chariots.
11. I will destroy the cities in your landand tear down all your fortresses.
12. I will destroy your sorcerers,and you will have no more fortunetellers.
13. I will destroy your idols and your sacred monuments.You will no longer worship what your hands have made.
14. I will pull out your poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah.I will wipe out your cities.
15. I will take revenge with great angeron the nations that do not obey me.”
