³⁸ He has left His lair like the lion;
For their land is desolate
Because of the fierceness of the Oppressor,
And because of His fierce anger.”

¹⁴ For ^(A)I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
^(B)I, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.

¹² The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs,
^[a]Killed for his lionesses,
^(A)Filled his caves with prey,
And his dens with ^[b]flesh.
