6Therefore a lion from the forest strikes them down; a wolf of the deserts devastates them; a leopard keeps watch over their cities. Everyone who goes out from them will be torn apart, because their transgressions are many; their apostasies have grown strong.

7How can I forgive you for this? Your children have forsaken me and have sworn by those that are not gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery and crowded into a prostitute’s house.

8They were well-fed, lusty stallions; each one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

9Shall I not punish for these things? declares Yahweh. And on a nation such as this, shall I not avenge myself?
