Hosea 13:8-10

Christian Standard Bible

⁸I 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,^(A)
like a wild beast that would rip them open.
⁹I will destroy you, Israel;
you have no help but me.^[a]^(B)

¹⁰Where now is your king,^[b]^(C)
that he may save you in all your cities,
and the^[c] rulers^[d]^(D) you demanded, saying,
“Give me a king and leaders”?
