Death and Resurrection

I have been the Lord your God(A)
ever since[a] the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,(B)
and no Savior exists besides me.(C)
I knew[b] you in the wilderness,(D)
in the land of drought.
When they had pasture,
they became satisfied;(E)
they were satisfied,
and their hearts became proud.(F)
Therefore they forgot me.(G)
So I will be like a lion(H) to them;
I will lurk like a leopard(I) on the path.
I will attack them
like a bear robbed of her cubs
and tear open the rib cage over their hearts.
I will devour them there like a lioness,(J)
like a wild beast that would rip them open.

like a lion(K) I will devour them—
    a wild animal will tear them apart.(L)
