Jeremiah 5:6

A boar from the forest devours it And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

“A lion has gone up from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations has set out; He has gone out from his place To make your land a desolation. Your cities will be turned into ruins Without inhabitant.

“Why then has this people, Jerusalem, Turned away in continual faithlessness? They hold fast to deceit; They refuse to return.

“Although our iniquities answer against us, O Yahweh, act for Your name’s sake! Truly our acts of faithlessness have been many; We have sinned against You.

“He has forsaken His hiding place like the lion; For their land has become an object of horror Because of the burning desire of the oppressor And because of His burning anger.”

‘All your lovers have forgotten you; They do not seek you; For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, With the punishment of a cruel one, Because your iniquity is numerous And your sins are mighty.

So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside.

Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are wolves at evening; They leave nothing to gnaw for the morning.
