Jeremiah 5:6

5:6 So like a lion from the thicket their enemies will kill them.

Like a wolf from the desert they will destroy them.

Like a leopard they will lie in wait outside their cities

and totally destroy anyone who ventures out.

For they have rebelled so much

and done so many unfaithful things.

and by the fierce anger of the Lord.”

For there is no one like me, and there is no one who can call me to account.

There is no ruler who can stand up against me.
