I made some of your sons prophets and some of your young men Nazirites. Is this not true, you Israelites?" The Lord is speaking!

Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?

"I sent against you a plague like one of the Egyptian plagues. I killed your young men with the sword, along with the horses you had captured. I made the stench from the corpses rise up into your nostrils. Still you did not come back to me." The Lord is speaking!

In that day your beautiful young women and your young men will faint from thirst.
