Hosea 13:4-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. But I am the Lord your Godfrom the land of Egypt; you know no God but me,and besides me there is no savior.

5. It was I who knew you in the wilderness,in the land of drought;

6. but when they had grazed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.

7. So I am to them like a lion; like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.

8. I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs;I will tear open their breast,and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rip them open.
