Hosea 13:7

Read in context

Hosea 13:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought.

6 When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me.

7 So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast would tear them apart.

9 You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.
