14 I will be like a lion to Israel,
    like a strong young lion to Judah.
    I will tear them to pieces!
I will carry them off,
    and no one will be left to rescue them.
15 Then I will return to my place
    until they admit their guilt and turn to me.
For as soon as trouble comes,
    they will earnestly search for me.”

And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(B)I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away;
I will carry away, and there will be (C)none to deliver.
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.
