Hosea 13:8-10

Common English Bible

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.
¹⁰ Where is your king now,
        so that he can save you?
    Where in all your cities are your judges,
        of whom you said,
        “Give me a king and rulers”?
