Jeremiah 50:44

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?

KJV

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 ?

Vulgate

Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that can stand before me?

ASV

הִ֠נֵּה כְּ/אַרְיֵ֞ה יַעֲלֶ֨ה מִ/גְּא֣וֹן הַ/יַּרְדֵּן֮ אֶל נְוֵ֣ה אֵיתָן֒ כִּֽי אַרְגִּ֤עָה ארוצ/ם אֲרִיצֵ/ם֙ מֵֽ/עָלֶ֔י/הָ וּ/מִ֥י בָח֖וּר אֵלֶ֣י/הָ אֶפְקֹ֑ד כִּ֣י מִ֤י כָמ֨וֹ/נִי֙ וּ/מִ֣י יוֹעִדֶ֔/נִּי וּ/מִֽי זֶ֣ה רֹעֶ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַעֲמֹ֖ד לְ/פָנָֽ/י

Hebrew

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?
