LORD , as the showers upon the grass , that tarryeth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men .
8 ¶ And the remnant of Jacob shall be a∣mong the Gentiles, in the midst of many peo∣ple , as a lyon amongst the beasts of the for∣rest, as a young lyon among the flocks of sheep , who if he go through, both treadeth down , and teareth in pieces , and none can deliver .
9 Thine t hand shall be lift up upon thine adversaries , and all thine enemies shall be cut off .
10 And it shall come to pass in that day , saith the LORD , that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots .
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds.
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand, and thou shalt have no more sooth∣sayers .
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images l out of the midst of thee : and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands .
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities .
15 And I will execute vengeance r in anger and fury upon the heathen , such as they have not heard .
