Hosea 13:4-8
New International Version
4 “But I have been the Lord your God
ever since you came out of Egypt.(A)
You shall acknowledge(B) no God but me,(C)
no Savior(D) except me.
5 I cared for you in the wilderness,(E)
in the land of burning heat.
6 When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud;(F)
then they forgot(G) me.(H)
7 So I will be like a lion(I) to them,
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs,(J)
I will attack them and rip them open;
like a lion(K) I will devour them—
a wild animal will tear them apart.(L)
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.

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.
