4. The Lord says, “I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt. You have no God but me. I alone am your saviour.
5. I took care of you in a dry, desert land.
6. But when you entered the good land, you became full and satisfied, and then you grew proud and forgot me.
7. So I will attack you like a lion. Like a leopard I will lie in wait along your path.
8. I will attack you like a bear that has lost her cubs, and I will tear you open. Like a lion I will devour you on the spot, and will tear you to pieces like a wild animal.
9. “I will destroy you, people of Israel! Then who can help you?
