Jeremiah 5:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the [a]evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How can I pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods. When I had [b]fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots’ houses; 8 they were as fed horses roaming at large; every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
