³⁷ The peaceful folds are brought to silence
    because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.
³⁸ He has left his covert, as the lion;
    for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression,
    and because of his fierce anger.

¹⁴ For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear in pieces and go away.
    I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
¹⁵ I will go and return to my place,
    until they acknowledge their offense,
    and seek my face.
    In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

¹⁰ They will walk after Yahweh,
    who will roar like a lion;
    for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

⁶ According to their pasture, so were they filled;
    they were filled, and their heart was exalted.
    Therefore they have forgotten me.
⁷ Therefore I am like a lion to them.
    Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
⁸ I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs,
    and will tear the covering of their heart.
    There I will devour them like a lioness.
    The wild animal will tear them.
