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.
10. Where now is your kingthat he may save you in all your cities?And where are your judges of whom you said,“Give me a king and princes”?
11. I gave you a king in My anger,and took him away in My wrath.
12. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;his sin is stored up.
