Hosea 5:14-15

World English Bible

¹⁴For I will be to Ephraim like a lion,
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear in pieces and go away.
    I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
¹⁵I will go and return to my place,
    until they acknowledge their offense,
    and seek my face.
    In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

For as soon as trouble comes,
    they will earnestly search for me.”
