Now they sin more and more;
    they make(A) idols for themselves from their silver,(B)
cleverly fashioned images,
    all of them the work of craftsmen.(C)
It is said of these people,
    “They offer human sacrifices!
    They kiss[a](D) calf-idols!(E)
Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
    like the early dew that disappears,(F)
    like chaff(G) swirling from a threshing floor,(H)
    like smoke(I) escaping through a window.

“But I have been the Lord your God
    ever since you came out of Egypt.(J)
You shall acknowledge(K) no God but me,(L)
    no Savior(M) except me.
I cared for you in the wilderness,(N)
    in the land of burning heat.
When I fed them, they were satisfied;
    when they were satisfied, they became proud;(O)
    then they forgot(P) me.(Q)
So I will be like a lion(R) to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
Like a bear robbed of her cubs,(S)
    I will attack them and rip them open;
like a lion(T) I will devour them—
    a wild animal will tear them apart.(U)

“You are destroyed, Israel,
    because you are against me,(V) against your helper.(W)
