Isaiah 31:4 For thus has the LORD spoken to me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey… There is no passage in Isaiah which is so Homeric in ring as this; cf. Iliad, 18:161 f., 12:299 ft. (F. Delitzsch.) Parallel Verses KJV: For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. |
