5. I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
6. According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.
7. And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
8. I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.
