He has strength like a wild ox;
He shall (E)consume the nations, his enemies;
He shall (F)break their bones
And (G)pierce them with his arrows.
9 ‘He(H) bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’
(I)“Blessed is he who blesses you,
And cursed is he who curses you.”

and is for him like the (D)horns of the wild ox;
he shall (E)eat up the nations, his adversaries,
and shall (F)break their bones in pieces
and (G)pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He crouched, he lay down like a lion
and (H)like a lioness; who will rouse him up?
(I)Blessed are those who bless you,
and cursed are those who curse you.”
