Hosea 13:4-8
English Standard Version
4 But (A)I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
(B)you know no God but me,
and (C)besides me there is no savior.
5 (D)It was I who knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of drought;
6 (E)but when they had grazed,[a] they became full,
(F)they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;
(G)therefore they forgot me.
7 So (H)I am to them like a lion;
(I)like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
8 I will fall upon them (J)like a bear robbed of her cubs;
I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
(K)as a wild beast would rip them open.

Death and Resurrection
4 I have been the Lord your God(A)
ever since[a] the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,(B)
and no Savior exists besides me.(C)
5 I knew[b] you in the wilderness,(D)
in the land of drought.
6 When they had pasture,
they became satisfied;(E)
they were satisfied,
and their hearts became proud.(F)
Therefore they forgot me.(G)
7 So I will be like a lion(H) to them;
I will lurk like a leopard(I) 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,(J)
like a wild beast that would rip them open.
