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.
aWhere is any other,
That he may save you in all your cities?
And your judges to whom byou said,
‘Give me a king and princes’?
