The Lion of God in Executing Judgments

I composed myself until the morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.

He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.

For I am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.

Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast tearing them apart.
