If I am exalted, You hunt me like a lion, and return to show Yourself wondrously to me.

I have been still until morning; as a lion, so He breaks all my bones; from day even until night You make an end of me.

For I am to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, tear and go away; I take away, and no one rescues.

Come, and let us return to Jehovah. For He has torn, and He will heal us. He has stricken, and He will bind us up.

Now I am like a lion to them; I will watch by the way like a leopard.

I will meet them like a bereaved bear, and I will tear open the carcass to their heart; and like a lion, I will devour them there; the beasts of the field shall tear them.

Woe to those who desire the day of Jehovah! Of what good is this to you? The day of Jehovah is darkness, and not light.

Is not the day of Jehovah darkness, and not light; even very dark, and not any brightness in it?

He lies in wait secretly, like a lion in his den. He lies in wait to catch the poor; he catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

like a lion that longs to tear, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
