The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

The verse 7 is found in chapter 4 of Jeremiah. The call to return requires removing abominations and practicing truth, justice, and righteousness. Circumcision of the heart becomes an image of inner transformation. The judgment announced against Jerusalem reveals that an external religious identity cannot protect a community that remains internally rebellious.

Es fährt daher der Löwe aus seiner Hecke, und der Verstörer der Heiden zieht einher aus seinem Ort, daß er dein Land verwüste und deine Städte ausbrenne, daß niemand darin wohne.
El león sube de su guarida, y el destruidor de gentes ha partido; salido ha de su asiento para poner tu tierra en soledad; tus ciudades serán asoladas, y sin morador.
Le lion s'élance de son taillis, Le destructeur des nations est en marche, il a quitté son lieu, Pour ravager ton pays; Tes villes seront ruinées, il n'y aura plus d'habitants.
Il leone è salito fuor del suo ricetto, e il distruggitore delle genti è partito; egli è uscito del suo luogo, per mettere il tuo paese in desolazione, e per far che le tue città sieno ruinate, per modo che niuno abiti più in esse.
Já um leão subiu da sua ramada, e um destruidor dos gentios; ele já partiu, e saiu do seu lugar para fazer da tua terra uma desolação, a fim de que as tuas cidades sejam destruídas, e ninguém habite nelas.
有獅子從密林中上來, 是毀壞列國的。 牠已動身出離本處, 要使你的地荒涼, 使你的城鎮變為廢墟,無人居住。
