Micah 5:8

The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, 1 among many peoples, 1 like a lion among the animals of the forest, 1 like a young lion among the flocks of sheep. 1 When he goes through them, 1 he will trample over them and tear them to pieces, 1 and there will be no one to save them. 1
