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.”

And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(B)I, yes I, will tear to pieces and go away,
I will carry away, and there will be (C)no one to rescue.
15 I will go away and return to My place
Until they [a](D)acknowledge their guilt and seek My face;
In their distress they will (E)search for Me.
