Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that will stand before me?
Lo! as a lioun he schal stie, fro þe pride of Jordan to þe strong fairnesse; for Y schal make hym renne sudenli to it; and who schal be þe chosun man, whom Y schal sette bifore hym? For who is lijk to me, and who schal suffre me? and who is this scheepherde, þat schal ayenstonde my cheer?
