Hosea 5:14-15
New King James Version
14 For (A)I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(B)I, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
15 I will return again to My place
Till they [a]acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”

till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face:
in their affliction they will seek me early.
