¹⁴ For I will be ^(A)like a lion to ^(B)Ephraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of ^(C)Judah.
^(D)I, even I, will tear and go away;
    I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.

⁷ So ^(A)I am to them like a lion;
    ^(B)like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
⁸ I will fall upon them ^(C)like a bear robbed of her cubs;
    I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
    ^(D)as a wild beast would rip them open.
