4Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall know no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
5I did know you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me.
7Therefore am I to them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;
8I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will tear the covering of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild animal shall tear them.
9It is your destruction, Israel, that [you are] against me, against your help.
10Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? and your judges, of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
