Hosea 5:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ When Ephraim saw his sickness
    and Judah his wound,
then Ephraim went to Assyria
    and sent to the great king.^[a]
But he is not able to cure you
    or heal your wound.^(A)
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear and go away;
    I will carry off, and no one shall rescue.^(B)
15 I will return again to my place
    until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face.
    In their distress they will beg my favor:^(C)
