24 Here is a people who will rise up like a lion,

And like the lion, it will raise itself up.+

It will not lie down until it eats prey

And drinks the blood of the slain ones.”

 9 He has crouched down, he has lain down like the lion,

And like a lion, who dares rouse him?

Those blessing you are blessed,

And those cursing you are cursed.”+
