14 For I will be (A)like a lion to Ephraim
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(B)I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away;

15 I will go away and return to My place
Until they [a](D)acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their affliction they will (E)seek Me earnestly.

14 Because I will be like a lion to Ephraim
    and like a fierce strong lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear and I will go;
    I will carry off, and there is no one who delivers.
15 I will return again[a] to my place
    until they acknowledge their guilt
        and seek my face;
    in their distress they will search[b] me.
