8  ^dThe proud beasts have not trodden it;

^ethe lion has not passed over it.

14  For I will be ^tlike a lion to ^uEphraim,

and like a young lion to the house of ^uJudah.

^vI, even I, will tear and go away;

I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.

7  So ^pI am to them like a lion;

^qlike a leopard I will lurk beside the way.

13  ^eI calmed myself¹ until morning;

like a lion ^fhe breaks all my bones;

from day to night you bring me to an end.
