14 For I will be (A)like a lion to (B)Ephraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of (C)Judah.
(D)I, even I, will tear and go away;
    I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.

15 (E)I will return again to my place,
    until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face,
    and (F)in their distress earnestly seek me.

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.”
