6According to their pasture, so were they filled: they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore haue they forgotten me. 7Therefore I will bee vnto them as a Lion, as a Leopard by the way will I obserue them. 8I will meet them as a beare that is bereaued of her whelpes, and will rent the kall of their heart, and there will I deuoure them like a Lion: the wilde beast shall teare them. 9¶ O Israel, thou hast destroied thy selfe, but in me is thine helpe. 10I will be thy King: where is any other that may saue thee in all thy cities? and thy Iudges of whom thou saidst, Giue me a King and Princes?
