it touches you, and you are dismayed.
it touches you, and you are dismayed.

and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
“Now a word was brought to me stealthily;
my ear received the whisper of it.
my ear received the whisper of it.
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
Amid thoughts from visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
when deep sleep falls on men,
In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
dread came upon me, and trembling,
which made all my bones shake.
which made all my bones shake.
Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
A spirit glided past my face;
the hair of my flesh stood up.
the hair of my flesh stood up.
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
It stood still,

A form was before my eyes;
there was silence, then I heard a voice:
but I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
there was silence, then I heard a voice:
It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

and his angels he charges with error;

Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces;
they perish forever without anyone regarding it.
they perish forever without anyone regarding it.
They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
