Hosea 13:4-8
American Standard Version
4 Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou [a]shalt know no god but me, and besides me there is no saviour. 5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me. 7 Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way; 8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.

Lexham English Bible
4 I am Yahweh your God
since[a] the land of Egypt;
you know no god except me,
and no one saves besides me.
5 I fed you[b] in the desert,
in the land of drought.
6 When I fed them,[c] they were satisfied;
they were satisfied and their heart was lifted up;
therefore they forgot me.
7 And I will be like a lion to them;
I lie in wait beside the way, like a leopard.
8 I will attack them like a bear robbed of her offspring,
and I will tear open the covering of their heart;
there I will devour them like a lion,
like an animal of the field would mutilate them.
