All your enemies open their mouths wide against you. They laugh at you and grind their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed up Jerusalem’s people. This is the day we’ve waited for. And we’ve lived to see it.”
I will be like a lion to Ephraim. I will attack Judah like a powerful lion. I will tear them to pieces. I will drag them off. Then I will leave them. No one will be able to save them.
The people of Jerusalem say, “Don’t laugh when we suffer, you enemies of ours! We have fallen. But we’ll get up. Even though we sit in the dark, the Lord will give us light.
