4. “Yet I have been Adonai your God since the land of Egypt. You should know no God but Me, and there is no Savior apart from Me.
5. I Myself knew you in the wilderness, in a land of terrible drought.
6. While they were fed, they were satisfied. Filled, their hearts became haughty. Therefore they forgot Me.
7. So I became like a lion to them— like a leopard lying in wait by the way.
8. I will meet them like a bear robbed of her cubs, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lioness. A beast of the field will rip them to shreds.
9. It has corrupted you, O Israel, for you are against Me— against your Helper!
