Jeremias 50:44
Behold he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan to the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall bear up against me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ecce quasi leo ascendet, de superbia Jordanis ad pulchritudinem robustam, quia subito currere faciam eum ad illam. Et quis erit electus, quem præponam ei ? quis est enim similis mei ? et quis sustinebit me ? et quis est iste pastor, qui resistat vultui meo ?
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 27:44
- ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ λέων ἀναβήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου εἰς Γαιθάν, ὅτι ταχέως ἐκδιώξω αὐτοὺς ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντα νεανίσκον ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ἐπιστήσω. ὅτι τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ; καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι; καὶ τίς οὗτος ποιμὴν ὃς στήσεται κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου;
- Hebrew (WLC)
- הִ֠נֵּה כְּאַרְיֵ֞ה יַעֲלֶ֨ה מִגְּא֣וֹן הַיַּרְדֵּן֮ אֶל נְוֵ֣ה אֵיתָן֒ כִּֽי אַרְגִּ֤עָה ארוצם מֵֽעָלֶ֔יהָ וּמִ֥י בָח֖וּר אֵלֶ֣יהָ אֶפְקֹ֑ד כִּ֣י מִ֤י כָמ֨וֹנִי֙ וּמִ֣י יוֹעִדֶ֔נִּי וּמִֽי זֶ֣ה רֹעֶ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַעֲמֹ֖ד לְפָנָֽי
