14 For I am like a lion to Ephraim(A)
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart.(B)
I will carry them off,
and no one can rescue them.(C)
15 I will depart and return to My place
until they recognize their guilt and seek My face;(D)
they will search for Me in their distress.(E)

14 Therefore I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I—even I—will tear them[a] to pieces,
    and then I will leave.
I will take them[b] away,
    and there will be no rescue.

15 “I will leave and go back to my place
    until they admit their offense
        and seek my face.
When affliction comes to them,
    they will eagerly seek me.”
