He is like a bear ready to attack me, like a lion in hiding.
If I hold up my head, you hunt me like a lion and again show your terrible power against me.
They wait in hiding like a lion. They wait to catch poor people; they catch the poor in nets.
They are like lions ready to kill; like lions, they sit in hiding.
All night I cried loudly. Like a lion, he crushed all my bones. In one day you brought me to this end.
He led me the wrong way and let me stray and left me without help.
He blocked my way with a stone wall and led me in the wrong direction.
I will be like a lion to Israel, like a young lion to Judah. I will attack them and tear them to pieces. I will drag them off, and no one will be able to save them.
“Come, let’s go back to the Lord. He has hurt us, but he will heal us. He has wounded us, but he will bandage our wounds.
