Hosea 13:4-8
World English Bible
4 “Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt;
and you shall acknowledge no god but me,
and besides me there is no savior.
5 I knew you 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 they have forgotten me.
7 Therefore I am like a lion to them.
Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
8 I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs,
and will tear the covering of their heart.
There I will devour them like a lioness.
The wild animal will tear them.
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.
