There will be a people like a dog.
The Lord has perfected the people of Israel in such a way that they are able to stand firm against all the difficulties that confront them (like a lion prepared for battle).
("There is a people like a wolf, and like a lion he will rise up, he will not lie down until he eats the prey and drinks the blood of the innocent" - in the wilderness 23:28, Balaam's speech)
