3 Therefore, they will disappear like the morning mist,like dew in the morning sun,like chaff blown by the wind,like smoke from a chimney.
4 “I have been the lord your Godever since I brought you out of Egypt.You must acknowledge no God but me,for there is no other savior.
5 I took care of you in the wilderness,in that dry and thirsty land.
6 But when you had eaten and were satisfied,you became proud and forgot me.
7 So now I will attack you like a lion,like a leopard that lurks along the road.
8 Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away,I will tear out your heart.I will devour you like a hungry lionessand mangle you like a wild animal.
9 “You are about to be destroyed, O Israel—yes, by me, your only helper.
