⁹ Judah is ^(A)a lion's cub;
    from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
^(B)He stooped down; he crouched as a lion
    and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?

¹⁴ For I will be ^(A)like a lion to ^(B)Ephraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of ^(C)Judah.
^(D)I, even I, will tear and go away;
    I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.
