²² Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

² Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

¹³ So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

¹⁶ And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁷ For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

¹⁷ And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

⁵ Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

⁸ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

¹⁴ Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

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 lion: the wild beast shall tear them.

¹⁴ For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

²⁸ Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

³² Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

¹³ And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

¹⁴ In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

⁴ The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁴² They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

¹⁸ Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
