Hosea 13:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Therefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that passes early away, like the chaff that swirls with the whirlwind from the threshing floor and as the smoke out of the chimney or through the window.

⁴ Yet I am the Lord your God from [the time you became a nation in] the land of Egypt, and you shall know or recognize no God but Me, for there is no Savior besides Me.

⁵ I knew (recognized, understood, and had regard for) you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
