Hosea 13:4-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ But I have been the Lord your God since you left the land of Egypt.
    You must not acknowledge any god except me.
    There is no Savior except me.
⁵ I took care of you in the wilderness,
    in a land burned by drought.
⁶ When they had pasture, they were satisfied.
    When they were satisfied, their hearts became arrogant.
    That is why they have forgotten me.
⁷ So I will be like a lion to them.
    Like a leopard, I will lurk along the path.
⁸ I will come upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs.
    I will tear the cover off their hearts.
    Then I will devour them like a lioness.
    The wild animals will rip them apart.
