Jeremiah 5:6-9

⁶Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down,

a wolf from the desert will ravage them.

A leopard will lie in wait near their cities,

and everyone who ventures out will be torn to pieces.

For their rebellious acts are many,

and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.

⁷“Why should I forgive you?

Your children have forsaken Me

and sworn by gods that are not gods.

I satisfied their needs, yet they committed adultery

and assembled at the houses of prostitutes.

⁸They are well-fed, lusty stallions,

each neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

⁹Should I not punish them for these things?”

declares the LORD.

“Should I not avenge Myself

on such a nation as this?

— Jeremiah 5:6-9
