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.

Revised Standard Version
4 I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,
and besides me there is no saviour.
5 It was I who knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of drought;
6 but when they had fed[a] to the full,
they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;
therefore they forgot me.
7 So I will be to them like a lion,
like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs,
I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
as a wild beast would rend them.
