Hosea 5:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 When Ephraim saw his infirmity,
and Judah his sore,
Ephraim went to Assyria,
and sent to the great king.[a](A)
But he cannot heal you,
nor take away your sore.
14 For I am like a lion to Ephraim,
like a young lion to the house of Judah;(B)
It is I who tear the prey and depart,
I carry it away and no one can save it.(C)
Insincere Conversion
15 I will go back to my place
until they make reparation
and seek my presence.
In their affliction, they shall look for me.(D)
Footnotes
- 5:13 Ephraim went…king: in 738 the Israelite king Menahem had to pay tribute to the Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III, whose vassal he became (2 Kgs 15:19–20). Under the threat of the Syro-Ephraimite invasion King Ahaz of Judah also submitted to Tiglath-pileser (2 Kgs 16:7–9). Great king: Heb. melek-yarev; may be a proper name: King Yarev, but unknown; or “the defender king”: irony about the great king of Assyria (see note on 10:6).

Hosea 5:13-15
New International Version
13 “When Ephraim(A) saw his sickness,
and Judah his sores,
then Ephraim turned to Assyria,(B)
and sent to the great king for help.(C)
But he is not able to cure(D) you,
not able to heal your sores.(E)
14 For I will be like a lion(F) to Ephraim,
like a great lion to Judah.
I will tear them to pieces(G) and go away;
I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them.(H)
15 Then I will return to my lair(I)
until they have borne their guilt(J)
and seek my face(K)—
in their misery(L)
they will earnestly seek me.(M)”
