“ Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts,

“ Or suppose I send wild animals through that country. And they kill all its children. It becomes a dry and empty desert. No one can pass through it because of the animals.

“ If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no one may pass through because of the beasts,

“ Or suppose I were to send wild animals to invade the country, kill the people, and make the land too desolate and dangerous to pass through.

“ Suppose I allow dangerous animals to pass through the land and depopulate it so that it becomes desolate, with no one passing through it for fear of the animals.

“ If I were to cause vicious animals to pass through the land and they depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the animals,

“ If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they empty it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts,

If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts;

“ If I allow dangerous animals to pass through the land and depopulate it so that it becomes desolate, with no one passing through it for fear of the animals,

“ Suppose I were to send wild animals through the land and kill its children, leaving it desolate, without travelers due to the wild animals.

“ If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals;

打發野地的走獸到你們中間，奪去你們的兒女，殘害你們的牲畜，減少你們的人口，使你們的道路荒涼。

我要差遣饑荒和惡獸到你們那裡去，使你喪掉兒女；在你中間必到處發生瘟疫和流血的事；我也必使刀劍臨到你。這是我耶和華說的。”

我要命定四種刑罰對付他們，就是刀劍殺戮，屍體被野狗拖走，被空中的飛鳥和地上的走獸吞吃與毀滅。”這是耶和華的宣告。

他就對那人說：“因為你不聽從耶和華的話，你一離開我，就必有獅子咬死你。”那人一離開他，果然遇見了獅子，把他咬死。

他們開始在那裡居住的時候，並不敬畏耶和華，所以耶和華派獅子到他們中間，咬死他們好些人。
