⁷ So I will be like a lion^(A) to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
⁸ Like a bear robbed of her cubs,^(B)
    I will attack them and rip them open;
like a lion^(C) I will devour them—
    a wild animal will tear them apart.^(D)

⁴ Does a lion roar^(A) in the thicket
    when it has no prey?^(B)
Does it growl in its den
    when it has caught nothing?
