4 But xI am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,
and ybesides me there is no savior.
5 It was I who knew you in the zwilderness,
in the land of drought;
6 but when they had grazed,1 they became full,
they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;
therefore they aforgot me.
7 So I am to them like a lion;
like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs;
I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
as a wild beast would rip them open.
16 1 Samaria shall hbear her guilt,
because she has rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword;
their little ones shall be idashed in pieces,
and their pregnant women jripped open.
