²⁴ Behold, a people! ^(A)As a lioness it rises up
    and as a lion it lifts itself;
^(B)it does not lie down until it has devoured the prey
    and drunk the blood of the slain.”

⁹ He crouched, he lay down like a lion
    and ^(A)like a lioness; who will rouse him up?
^(B)Blessed are those who bless you,
    and cursed are those who curse you.”
