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

A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.

And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.

I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.

A lion hath roared -- who doth not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken -- who doth not prophesy?

if according to the death of all men these die -- or the charge of all men is charged upon them -- Jehovah hath not sent me;

and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have, and they have gone down alive to Sheol -- then ye have known that these men have despised Jehovah.'

then hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the strokes of thy seed -- great strokes, and stedfast, and evil sicknesses, and stedfast.
