Hosea 13:4-8
Christian Standard Bible
Death and Resurrection
4 I have been the Lord your God(A)
ever since[a] the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,(B)
and no Savior exists besides me.(C)
5 I knew[b] you in the wilderness,(D)
in the land of drought.
6 When they had pasture,
they became satisfied;(E)
they were satisfied,
and their hearts became proud.(F)
Therefore they forgot me.(G)
7 So I will be like a lion(H) to them;
I will lurk like a leopard(I) on the path.
8 I will attack them
like a bear robbed of her cubs
and tear open the rib cage over their hearts.
I will devour them there like a lioness,(J)
like a wild beast that would rip them open.
Hosea 13:4-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Yet I have been the Lord your God
ever since the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,
and besides me there is no savior.(A)
5 It was I who fed[a] you in the wilderness,
in the land of drought.(B)
6 When I fed[b] them, they were satisfied;
they were satisfied, and their heart was proud;
therefore they forgot me.(C)
7 So I will become like a lion to them;
like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.(D)
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs
and will tear open the covering of their heart;
there I will devour them like a lion,
as a wild animal would mangle them.
