As the shepherd rescues ... so will the people of Israel ... be rescued
The Lord compares the people of Israel being rescued with an unsuccessful attempt to rescue an animal from a lion. They will not be completely rescued.
As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs only, or a piece of an ear
"As a shepherd tries to rescue an animal from the lion's mouth but is able to save only two legs or a piece of an ear"
