And like the early dew that passes away,
aLike chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For bthere is no savior besides Me.
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
Therefore they forgot Me.
I will tear open their rib cage,
And there I will devour them like a lion.
The wild beast shall tear them.
