KJV ORIGINAL
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?

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Look, he's going to charge in like a lion coming up from the thick forests by the Jordan River, straight into where the strong people live. I'll make them scatter and run away in an instant. And who am I going to choose to put in charge? Because honestly, who's even like me? Who gets to set my schedule? What leader could possibly stand up to me?
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's power is unmatched — when he moves, everyone else just has to deal with it.
