22 God brought them out of Egypt.
    They are as strong as a wild ox.
23 No tricks will work on the people of Jacob.
    No magic works against Israel.
People now say this about them,
    ‘Look what God has done!’
24 The people are strong like a lioness.
    They get up like a lion.
Lions don’t rest until they have eaten.
    They drink their enemies’ blood.”

    they rouse themselves like a lion(E)
that does not rest till it devours its prey
    and drinks the blood(F) of its victims.”
