Hosea 13:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ So I will become like a lion to them;
        like a leopard I will lurk beside the road.
⁸ I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs,
        and I will tear open the covering of their hearts.
    I will devour them like a lion,
        as a wild animal would eat them.
⁹ I will destroy you, Israel;
        for you didn’t realize that I could help you.
