⁶ Therefore, lions from the forest will tear them to pieces,
    and wolves from the desert will ravage them.
Leopards will be on the prowl around their cities;
    all those who depart from them
    will be torn to pieces
because of their many crimes
    and their apostasies
    without number.
⁷ Why should I forgive you?
    Your children have forsaken me to swear by gods
    that are not gods in any way.
When I gave them everything they needed,
    they committed adultery
    and hastened to the houses of prostitutes.
⁸ They are well-fed and lusty stallions,
    each one neighing for his neighbor’s wife.
