⁷ So I will be ^(A)like a lion to them;
Like a ^(B)leopard I will ^[a]lie in wait by the wayside.
⁸ I will encounter them ^(C)like a bear robbed of her cubs,
And I will tear open ^[b]the chest enclosing their heart;
There I will also ^(D)devour them like a lioness,
As a beast of the field would rip them open.
