Yet I have been (A)Yahweh your God
Since the land of Egypt;
And you were not to know (B)any god except Me,
And there is no savior (C)besides Me.
I Myself (D)knew you in the wilderness,
(E)In the land of drought.
As they had their pasture, then they became (F)satisfied,
Indeed, they were satisfied, and their (G)heart became raised up;
Therefore they (H)forgot Me.
So I will be (I)like a lion to them;
Like a (J)leopard I will [a]lie in wait by the wayside.
I will encounter them (K)like a bear robbed of her cubs,
And I will tear open [b]the chest enclosing their heart;
There I will also (L)devour them like a lioness,
As a beast of the field would rip them open.

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.
