公獅因缺獵物而死，母獅的幼獅都離散。

聽啊，有牧人在哀號，因他們的榮華敗落了；聽啊，有少壯獅子咆哮，因約旦河旁的叢林荒廢了。

禍哉，這欺壓的城！悖逆，污穢，不聽從命令，不領受訓誨，不倚靠耶和華，不親近它的神。其中的領袖是咆哮的獅子，審判官是晚上的野狼，不留一點到早晨。它的先知是虛浮詭詐的人，祭司褻瀆聖所，強解律法。

他們要吼叫，像母獅，咆哮，像少壯獅子；他們要咆哮，抓取獵物，穩穩叼走，無人能救回。

野狼必與小綿羊同住，豹子與小山羊同臥；少壯獅子、牛犢和肥畜同羣；孩童要牽引牠們。牛必與熊同食，牛犢與小熊同臥；獅子與牛一樣吃草。吃奶的嬰孩在虺蛇的洞口玩耍，斷奶的幼兒必按手在毒蛇的穴上。在我聖山各處，牠們都不傷人，不害物；因為認識耶和華的知識要遍滿全地，好像水充滿海洋一般。

獅子的洞，幼獅餵養之處在哪裏呢？公獅、母獅、小獅出入，無人使牠們驚嚇之地在哪裏呢？公獅撕碎的足夠給幼獅吃，又為母獅掐死獵物，把獵物塞滿牠的洞穴，把撕碎的裝滿牠的窩。

神啊，求你敲碎他們口中的牙！耶和華啊，求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙！
