6 Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, [and] their backsliding is increased.
7 How can I pardon you? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes' houses.
8 They were as fed horses roaming at large; everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 Go up on her walls, and destroy; but don't make a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Yahweh's.
