4But jI am the Lord your God

from the land of Egypt;

kyou know no God but me,

and lbesides me there is no savior.

5mIt was I who knew you in the wilderness,

in the land of drought;

6nbut when they had grazed,1 they became full,

othey were filled, and their heart was lifted up;

otherefore they forgot me.

7So pI am to them like a lion;

qlike a leopard I will lurk beside the way.

8I will fall upon them rlike a bear robbed of her cubs;

I will tear open their breast,

and there I will devour them like a lion,

sas a wild beast would rip them open.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“But I have been the Lord your God

ever since you came out of Egypt.

You shall acknowledge no God but me,

no Savior except me.

I cared for you in the wilderness,

in the land of burning heat.

When I fed them, they were satisfied;

when they were satisfied, they became proud;

then they forgot me.

So I will be like a lion to them,

like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

Like a bear robbed of her cubs,

I will attack them and rip them open;

like a lion I will devour them—

a wild animal will tear them apart.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I have been the Lord your God

ever since the land of Egypt;

you know no God but me,

and no Savior exists besides me.

I knew you in the wilderness,

in the land of drought.

When they had pasture,

they became satisfied;

they were satisfied,

and their hearts became proud.

Therefore they forgot me.

So I will be like a lion to them;

I will lurk like a leopard on the path.

I will attack them

like a bear robbed of her cubs

and tear open the rib cage over their hearts.

I will devour them there like a lioness,

like a wild beast that would rip them open.

NLTNew Living Translation

“I have been the Lord your God

ever since I brought you out of Egypt.

You must acknowledge no God but me,

for there is no other savior.

I took care of you in the wilderness,

in that dry and thirsty land.

But when you had eaten and were satisfied,

you became proud and forgot me.

So now I will attack you like a lion,

like a leopard that lurks along the road.

Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away,

I will tear out your heart.

I will devour you like a hungry lioness

and mangle you like a wild animal.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I am Yahweh your God

since the land of Egypt;

you know no god except me,

and no one saves besides me.

I fed you in the desert,

in the land of drought.

When I fed them, they were satisfied;

they were satisfied and their heart was lifted up;

therefore they forgot me.

And I will be like a lion to them;

I lie in wait beside the way, like a leopard.

I will attack them like a bear robbed of her offspring,

and I will tear open the covering of their heart;

there I will devour them like a lion,

like an animal of the field would mutilate them.

KJV 1900King James Version

Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt,

And thou shalt know no god but me:

For there is no saviour beside me.

I did know thee in the wilderness,

In the land of great drought.

According to their pasture, so were they filled;

They were filled, and their heart was exalted;

Therefore have they forgotten me.

Therefore I will be unto them as a lion:

As a leopard by the way will I observe them:

I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps,

And will rend the caul of their heart,

And there will I devour them like a lion:

The wild beast shall tear them.
