3 Nephi 20:16
1830 Edition
then shall ye which are a remnant of the house of Jacob, go forth among them; and ye shall be in the midst of them, which shall be many; and ye shall be among them, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through, both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

Micah 5:8 (KJV)
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

Simple English
“Then you who are left from the house of Jacob will go out among them. You will be among many of them. You will be like a lion among the animals in the forest. You will be like a young lion among sheep. When it goes through, it walks over them and tears them apart. No one can save them.”
Paraphrase
“Then you, who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, will go out among them. You’ll be in their midst, though they are many. You’ll be among them like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep—treading down and tearing to pieces whatever he passes through. And no one will be able to stop you.”
