I, even I will tear you and go away.
The Lyons when they tear their prey, they are not afraid of what they have done,1 but walk majestically before the dead carkiese as it were bidding defiance to all other creatures, they run not away as the Fox doth, but walk as it were in state, for so the words in the original carry: I, even I will tear. 2As if God did challenge all the creatures in Heaven or Earth for to grapple with him, I will tear them. It implies how God will ⟨p. 508⟩deal with Judah, He will not be afraid of them, what He doth it shall be in an open way, He will not come against them in secret but in a public way.
