No matter how hard I try, you keep hunting me down like a powerful lion.
Why have you turned your back and count me your enemy?
God is my hateful enemy, glaring at me and attacking with his sharp teeth.
His miracles are marvellous, more than we can count.
Until morning came, I thought you would crush my bones just like a hungry lion; both night and day you make a wreck of me.
The people have rebelled and rejected the LORD too many times. So enemies will attack like lions from the forest or wolves from the desert. Those enemies will watch the towns of Judah, and like leopards they will tear to pieces whoever goes outside.

he will punish you and your descendants with incurable diseases,
