I will confront them (A)like a bear deprived of her cubs,
And I will tear open [a]their chests;
I will also (B)devour them there like a lioness,
As a wild animal would tear them to pieces.

[b]It is to your own destruction, Israel,
That you are (C)against Me, against your (D)help.
10 Where then is your (E)king,
That he might save you in all your cities;
And your (F)judges, to whom you said,
“Give me a king and princes”?
