Hosea 5:13-15
Contemporary English Version
Hosea 5:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 When Israel and Judah saw
their sickness and wounds,
Israel asked help from Assyria
and its mighty king.[a]
But the king cannot cure them
or heal their wounds.
14 So I'll become a fierce lion
attacking Israel and Judah.
I'll snatch and carry off
what I want,
and no one can stop me.
15 Then I'll return to my temple
until they confess their guilt
and worship me,
until they are desperate
and beg for my help.
