3. And so, all of you will vanishlike the mist or the dewof early morning,or husks of grain in the windor smoke from a chimney.
4. I, the Lord, have been your Godsince the timeyou were in Egypt.I am the only God you know,the only one who can save.
5. I took care of youin a thirsty desert.
6. I fed you till you were satisfied,then you became proudand forgot about me.
7. Now I will attack like a lion,ambush you like a leopard,
8. and rip you apart like a bearrobbed of her cubs.I will gnaw on your bones,as though I were a lionor some other wild animal.
