6 When I fed them, they were satisfied;and their hearts became proud;therefore, they forgot me.
7 So I will become like a lion to them;like a leopard I will lurk beside the road.
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs,and I will tear open the covering of their hearts.I will devour them like a lion,as a wild animal would eat them.
9 I will destroy you, Israel;for you didn’t realize that I could help you.
10 Where is your king now,so that he can save you?Where in all your cities are your judges,of whom you said,"Give me a king and rulers"?
11 I gave you a king in my anger,and I took him away in my wrath.
12 Ephraim’s wickedness is bound up;his sin is kept in store.
