4. I, the Lord, am your God,since the land of Egypt; Gods apart from me you do not know;there is no savior but me.
5. I fed you in the wilderness,in the parched land.
6. When I fed them, they were satisfied;when satisfied, they became proud,therefore they forgot me.
7. So, I will be like a lion to them,like a leopard by the road I will keep watch.
8. I will attack them like a bear robbed of its young,and tear their hearts from their breasts;I will devour them on the spot like a lion,as a wild animal would rip them open.
9. I destroy you, Israel!who is there to help you?
10. Where now is your king,that he may rescue you?And all your princes,that they may defend you?Of whom you said,“Give me a king and princes”?
11. I give you a king in my anger,and I take him away in my wrath.
