He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places.
And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:
He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.
Like a lion desiring its food, and like a young lion waiting in secret places.
I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.
By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste.
He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.
For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.
