¹⁶ And if `my head' exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

¹³ I quieted `myself' until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

¹⁰ He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.

⁹ Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number:

²⁹ If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Jehovah hath not sent me.

³⁰ But if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then ye shall understand that these men have despised Jehovah.

⁵⁹ then Jehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

⁷ Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;

⁸ I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.

⁸ The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
