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.
