Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, 'and' their backslidings are increased.
Þerfor a lioun of þe wode smoot hem; a wolf at euentid wastide hem, a parde wakynge on þe citees of hem. Ech man þat goith out of hem, schal be takun; for þe trespassyngis of hem ben multiplied, þe turnyngis awei of hem ben coumfortid.
