Hosea 13:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs,
and will tear open the covering of their heart;
there I will devour them like a lion,
as a wild animal would mangle them.

⁹I will destroy you, O Israel;
    who can help you?^[a]
¹⁰Where now is^[b] your king, that he may save you?
    Where in all your cities are your rulers,
of whom you said,
    ‘Give me a king and rulers’?
