Hosea 13:4-8
Christian Standard Bible
Death and Resurrection
4 I have been the Lord 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
New American Standard Bible
4 Yet I have been the (A)Lord your God
Since the land of Egypt;
And you were not to know (B)any god except Me,
For there is no savior (C)besides Me.
5 I [a](D)cared for you in the wilderness,
(E)In the land of drought.
6 As they had their pasture, they became (F)satisfied,
And as they became satisfied, their (G)heart became proud;
Therefore they (H)forgot Me.
7 So I will be (I)like a lion to them;
Like a (J)leopard I will [b]lie in wait by the wayside.
8 I will confront them (K)like a bear deprived of her cubs,
And I will tear open [c]their chests;
I will also (L)devour them there like a lioness,
As a wild animal would tear them to pieces.
