Hosea 5:14-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
    like a young lion to the nation of Judah.
I—yes, I myself—will rip them to pieces.
I will carry them away,
    and no one can save them.
¹⁵ I will go back to my place,
    until the people admit they are guilty,
    until they come looking for me.
Yes, in their trouble they will try very hard to find me.”
