Hosea 13:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ So now I will attack you like a lion,
    like a leopard that lurks along the road.
⁸ Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away,
    I will tear out your heart.
I will devour you like a hungry lioness
    and mangle you like a wild animal.

⁹ “You are about to be destroyed, O Israel—
    yes, by me, your only helper.
