Yet I have been the LORD your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.

Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

I cared for you in the wilderness, In the land of drought.

I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And as they became satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me.

According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside.

Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:

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

I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
