And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion and again work wonders against me.
I calmed myself until morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end.
He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding;
who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:
The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?”
So I am to them like a lion; like a leopard I will lurk beside the way. I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs; I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rip them open.
then the Lord will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting.
If these men die as all men die, or if they are visited by the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”
