H738Wherefore a lionH3293out of the forestH5221shall slay[H8689] H2061them, and a wolfH6160of the eveningsH7703shall spoil[H8799] H5246them, a leopardH8245shall watch[H8802] H5892over their citiesH3318: every one that goeth out[H8802] H2007thence shallH2963be torn in pieces[H8735] H6588: because their transgressionsH7231are many[H8804] H4878, and their backslidingsH6105are increased[H8804] .
H7451Thine own wickednessH3256shall correct[H8762] H4878thee, and thy backslidingsH3198shall reprove[H8686] H3045thee: know[H8798] H7200therefore and see[H8798] H7451that it is an evilH4751thing and bitterH5800, that thou hast forsaken[H8800] H3068the LORDH430thy GodH6345, and that my fearH5002is not in thee, saith[H8803] H136the LordH3069GODH6635of hosts.
H3068The LORDH559said[H8799] H3117also unto me in the daysH2977of JosiahH4428the kingH7200, Hast thou seen[H8804] H4878that which backslidingH3478IsraelH6213hath done[H8804] H1980? she is gone up[H8802] H1364upon every highH2022mountainH8478and underH7488every greenH6086treeH2181, and there hath played the harlot[H8799] .
H3427Why do we sit still[H8802] H622? assemble[H8734] H935yourselves, and let us enter[H8799] H4013into the defencedH5892citiesH1826, and let us be silent[H8735] H3068there: for the LORDH430our GodH1826hath put us to silence[H8689] H4325, and given us waterH7219of gallH8248to drink[H8686] H2398, because we have sinned[H8804] H3068against the LORD.
H5375I will bear[H8799] H2197the indignationH3068of the LORDH2398, because I have sinned[H8804] H7378against him, until he plead[H8799] H7379my causeH6213, and execute[H8804] H4941judgmentH3318for me: he will bring me forth[H8686] H216to the lightH7200, and I shall behold[H8799] H6666his righteousness.
