29 I shall not drive them out from before you in one year, that the land may not become a desolate waste and the wild beasts of the field really multiply against you.+

6 That is why a lion out of the forest has struck them, a wolf itself of the desert plains keeps despoiling them,+ a leopard is keeping awake at their cities.+ Everyone going forth from them gets torn to pieces. For their transgressions have become many; their acts of unfaithfulness have become numerous.+
