Hosea 13:4-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Death and Resurrection
4 I have been Yahweh 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.

Hosea 13:4-8
Common English Bible
4 Yet I have been the Lord your God
ever since the land of Egypt;
and you will know no other gods but me;
there is no savior besides me.
5 I knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of no rain.
6 When I fed them, they were satisfied;
and their hearts became proud;
therefore, they forgot me.
Consequences of infidelity
7 So I will become like a lion to them;
like a leopard I will lurk beside the road.
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs,
and I will tear open the covering of their hearts.
I will devour them like a lion,
as a wild animal would eat them.
