Hosea 5:13-15

Contemporary English Version

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.
