“Yet (A)I am the Lord your God
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For (B)there is no savior besides Me.
(C)I [a]knew you in the wilderness,
(D)In the land of [b]great drought.
(E)When they had pasture, they were filled;
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
Therefore they forgot Me.

“So (F)I will be to them like a lion;
Like (G)a leopard by the road I will lurk;
I will meet them (H)like a bear deprived of her cubs;
I will tear open their rib cage,
And there I will devour them like a lion.
The [c]wild beast shall tear them.

I am Yahweh your God
    since[a] the land of Egypt;
you know no god except me,
    and no one saves besides me.
I fed you[b] in the desert,
    in the land of drought.
When I fed them,[c] they were satisfied;
    they were satisfied and their heart was lifted up;
        therefore they forgot me.
And I will be like a lion to them;
    I lie in wait beside the way, like a leopard.
I will attack them like a bear robbed of her offspring,
    and I will tear open the covering of their heart;
there I will devour them like a lion,
    like an animal of the field would mutilate them.
