Hosea 5:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² I will destroy Israel as a moth consumes wool.
    I will make Judah as weak as rotten wood.

¹³ “When Israel and Judah saw how sick they were,
    Israel turned to Assyria—
to the great king there—
    but he could neither help nor cure them.
¹⁴ I will be like a lion to Israel,
    like a strong young lion to Judah.
    I will tear them to pieces!
I will carry them off,
    and no one will be left to rescue them.
