"His angerhas tornme and huntedme down,He has gnashedat me with His teeth;My adversaryglaresat me.
Who doesgreatand unsearchablethings,Wonderswithoutnumber.

Thereforea lionfrom the forestwill slaythem, A wolfof the desertswill destroythem, A leopardis watchingtheir cities.Everyonewho goesout of them will be tornin pieces,Becausetheir transgressionsare many,Their apostasiesare numerous.
He is to me like a bearlyingin wait,[Like] a lionin secretplaces.
For I [will be] like a lionto EphraimAnd like a younglionto the houseof Judah.I, even I, will tearto pieces and goaway, I will carryaway, and therewill be noneto deliver.
A lionhas roared!Whowill not fear?The LordGODhas spoken!Whocan but prophesy?
