5 I took care of youin a thirsty desert.
6 I fed you till you were satisfied,then you became proudand forgot about me.
7 Now I will attack like a lion,ambush you like a leopard,
8 and rip you apart like a bearrobbed of her cubs.I will gnaw on your bones,as though I were a lionor some other wild animal.
9 Israel, you are done for.Don't expect help from me.
10 You wanted a king and rulers.Where is your king now?What cities have rulers?
11 In my anger, I gave you a king;in my fury, I took him away.
