In context
5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought.
6 When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me.
7 So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
8 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 would tear them apart.
9 You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.
10 Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?
11 So in My anger I gave you a king, and in My wrath I took him away.
