7The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the LORD, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for anyone or depend on man.

7The survivors of Jacob will live among many peoples, as dew from the LORD, as showers upon the grass. They will look to no one, and will place no hope in human beings.

8The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which mauls and mangles as it goes, and no one can rescue.

8The survivors of Jacob will live among the nations; they will live among many peoples, like a lion among flocks of sheep, who, if he passes through, will trample and tear down with no one to deliver.

14I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles when I demolish your cities.

14I will uproot your cultic gods from you, and I will tear down your cities.

15I will take vengeance in anger and wrath on the nations that have not obeyed me."

15I will execute vengeance, anger, and fury on the nations who do not obey."
