The Glorious and Purified Remnant

Then the remnant of Jacob(A)
will be among many peoples
like dew from the Lord,(B)
like showers on the grass,(C)
which do not wait for anyone
or linger for mankind.
Then the remnant of Jacob

like a young lion among flocks of sheep,
which tramples(E) and tears(F) as it passes through,
and there is no one to rescue them.(G)
