3 Therefore they will be like the morning cloud,or like the early dew that passes away,like chaff blown off the threshing floor,or like the smoke from a chimney.
4 Yet I am the Lord your Godever since the land of Egypt.You know no God but Me,and there is no savior besides Me.
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.
