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.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm going to come at them like a mama bear whose cubs were taken away — absolutely fierce and unstoppable. I'll tear their hearts open, devour them like a lion attacks its prey. Wild animals will finish what's left of them.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's anger when his people turn away isn't just disappointment — it's mama bear protecting her cubs level of fierce.
