Hosea 13:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵ 
I knew and regarded you and cared for you in the wilderness,
In the land of drought.
⁶ 
When they had their pasture, they became satisfied,
And being satisfied, their heart became proud (self-centered);
Therefore they forgot Me.
⁷ 
So I will be like a lion to them;
Like a leopard I will watch and lie in wait [ready to attack] by the road [to Assyria].
