Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

The verse 44 is found in chapter 50 of Jeremiah. The Redeemer of Israel defends his people’s cause and Babylon loses its security. The sound of its fall reaches the nations and causes international upheaval. The section combines justice for the oppressed with judgment against the oppressor, completing the reversal begun in the earlier oracles against Babylon.

Siehe, er kommt herauf wie ein Löwe vom stolzen Jordan wider die festen Hürden; denn ich will sie daraus eilends wegtreiben, und den, der erwählt ist, darübersetzen. Denn wer ist mir gleich, wer will micht meistern, und wer ist der Hirte, der mir widerstehen kann?
He aquí que como león subirá de la hinchazón del Jordán a la morada fuerte: porque muy pronto le haré correr de sobre ella, y al que fuere escogido la encargaré: porque ¿quién es semejante a mí? ¿y quién me emplazará? ¿ó quién será aquel pastor que me podrá resistir?
Miren, uno subirá como león de la espesura del Jordán contra un pastizal perenne. En un instante haré huir de allí a sus habitantes y pondré al frente de ella a quien yo escoja. Porque ¿quién es como yo? ¿Quién me citará a juicio? ¿Qué pastor podrá resistirme?
Voici, tel qu'un lion, il monte des rives orgueilleuses du Jourdain Contre la demeure forte; Soudain je les en chasserai, Et j'établirai sur elle celui que j'ai choisi. Car qui est semblable à moi? qui me donnera des ordres? Et quel est le chef qui me résistera?
Ecco, colui salirà a guisa di leone, più violentemente che la piena del Giordano, contro all’abitacolo forte; perciocchè io lo farò correre sopra essa; e chi è valent’uomo scelto? ed io lo rassegnerò contro ad essa. Perciocchè, chi è pari a me? e chi mi sfiderà? e chi è il pastore che possa star fermo davanti a me?
Eis que ele como leão subirá da enchente do Jordão, contra a morada forte, porque num momento o farei correr dali; e quem é o escolhido que porei sobre ela? porque quem é semelhante a mim, e quem me fixará o tempo? E quem é o pastor que poderá permanecer perante mim?
「看哪,就像獅子從 約旦河 邊的叢林上來,攻擊堅固的居所,我要在轉眼之間使 迦勒底 人逃跑,離開這地。我揀選誰,就派誰治理這地。誰能像我呢?誰能召我出庭呢?有哪一個牧人能在我面前站得住呢?
