Hosea 13:7-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 So I will be like a lion(A) to them;
I will lurk like a leopard(B) 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,(C)
like a wild beast that would rip them open.
Hosea 13:7-8
Modern English Version
7 So I will be like a lion to them,
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
8 I will attack them like a bear bereaved of her cubs,
and will tear open their rib cage.
There I will devour them like a lion,
as the wild beast would tear them to pieces.

Like a (B)leopard I will [a]lie in wait by the wayside.

I will also (D)devour them there like a lioness,
As a wild animal would tear them to pieces.
