Hosea 5:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ When Ephraim examined his illness
    and Judah his injury,
then Ephraim went to Assyria,
    and inquired of the great king;
but he could not cure you
    nor heal your injury.
¹⁴ Therefore I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I—even I—will tear them^[a] to pieces,
    and then I will leave.
I will take them^[b] away,
    and there will be no rescue.
