¹³ I have set `Him' till morning as a lion, So doth He break all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me.

²⁴ And the king hath said, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den till that the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small.

⁸ Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.

³⁰ Because of this, among you many `are' weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

¹⁴ For I `am' as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I -- I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.

²² Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

¹⁰ Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of Thy hand I have been consumed.

¹² At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark.

¹³ Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.

¹⁴ He breaketh me -- breach upon breach, He runneth upon me as a mighty one.

¹⁶ And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.

¹⁷ Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare `are' with me.

³⁶ and he saith to him, `Because that thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion findeth him, and smiteth him.

²⁴ and he goeth, and a lion findeth him in the way, and putteth him to death, and his carcase is cast in the way, and the ass is standing near it, and the lion is standing near the carcase.

²⁵ And lo, men are passing by, and see the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing near the carcase, and they come and speak `of it' in the city in which the old prophet is dwelling.

²⁶ And the prophet who brought him back out of the way heareth and saith, `It `is' the man of God who provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth him to the lion, and it destroyeth him, and putteth him to death, according to the word of Jehovah that he spake to him.'
