bA wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
cA leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.
Your children have forsaken Me
And asworn by those bthat are not gods.
cWhen I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
“And shall I not aavenge Myself on such a nation as this?
But do not1 make a acomplete end.
Take away her branches,
For they are not the Lord’s.

Jeremiah 5:8
