¹⁶ If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.

¹³ I quieted [myself] until morning; as a lion, so he breaks all my bones: From day even to night will you make an end of me.

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

⁹ Who does great things that can't be fathomed, Marvelous 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 Yahweh hasn't sent me.

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

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

⁷ Therefore am I to them like a lion; Like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

⁸ I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, And will tear the covering of their heart. And there I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.

⁸ The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy?
