5. I knew you in the wilderness,in the land of great drought.
6. When they had pasture, they were satisfied.They were satisfied, and their heart was exalted;therefore they forgot Me.
7. So I will be like a lion to them,like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
8. I will attack them like a bear bereaved of her cubs,and will tear open their rib cage.There I will devour them like a lion,as the wild beast would tear them to pieces.
9. O Israel, you are destroyed,but in Me is your help.
