Hosea 13:4-8
Authorized (King James) Version
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt,
and thou shalt know no god but me:
for there is no saviour beside me.
5 I did know thee 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 have they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion:
as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps,
and will rend the caul of their heart,
and there will I devour them like a lion:
the wild beast shall tear them.
