For I am like a lion to Ephraim
and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
Yes, I will tear them to pieces and depart.
I will carry them off,
and no one can rescue them.

So I will be like a lion to them;
I will lurk like a leopard on the path.

They will follow the Lord;
He will roar like a lion.
When He roars,
His children will come trembling from the west.

Therefore, they will be like the morning mist,
like the early dew that vanishes,
like chaff blown from a threshing floor,
or like smoke from a window.
