Hosea 5:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ “Israel saw how weak she was.
    Judah saw the wounds she suffered.
So Israel turned to Assyria for help.
    She sent to the great king of Assyria for help.
But he cannot heal you.
    He cannot cure your wound.
¹⁴ I will be like a lion to Israel.
    I will be like a young lion to Judah.
I will attack them
    and tear them to pieces.
I will drag them off,
    and no one will be able to save them.
¹⁵ Then I will go back to my place
    until the people admit they are guilty.
At that time they must look for me.
    In their trouble they must turn to me.”
