He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding;
Bold as a lion you hunt me; you repeat your exploits against me.
they lurk in secret like a lion in its den; they lurk that they may seize the poor; they seize the poor and drag them off in their net.
They are like a lion eager to tear, like a young lion lurking in ambush.
I cry for help until morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end.
he led me off my way and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate;
he has blocked my ways with hewn stones; he has made my paths crooked.
For I will be like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear and go away; I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.
“Come, let us return to the Lord, for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck down, and he will bind us up.
