雄獅因無食而死，母獅的幼崽離散。

聽啊，牧人在哀號，因為他們肥美的草場已被毀壞。聽啊，獅子在吼叫，因為約旦河畔的叢林已被毀壞。

這叛逆、污穢、充滿壓迫的城有禍了！她不聽命令，不受管教；不倚靠耶和華，不親近她的上帝。她的首領是咆哮的獅子，她的審判官是夜間的豺狼，不留一點獵物到天明。她的先知是狂妄詭詐之徒，她的祭司褻瀆聖殿，違背律法。

他們吼叫如獅子，像猛獅般咆哮著捕食，將獵物叼走，無人能救。

那時，豺狼和綿羊羔同住，豹子和山羊羔同臥，牛犢和獅子同群，小孩子可以照看牠們。牛與熊一起吃喝，小牛和小熊一起躺臥，獅子像牛一樣吃草。吃奶的嬰孩在毒蛇的洞口玩耍，斷奶的孩子把手伸進蛇洞。在我的整個聖山上，牠們都不傷人、不害物。認識耶和華的人必充滿天下，就像水充滿海洋一樣。

如今那獅子的洞穴，那餵養壯獅的地方在哪裡呢？從前，雄獅、母獅和幼獅曾在那裡出入，無人驚擾。雄獅為幼獅撕碎充足的食物，為母獅掐死獵物，洞穴裡堆滿獵物，堆滿撕碎的肉。

上帝啊，求你敲碎他們的牙齒；耶和華啊，求你拔掉這些猛獅的利齒。
