Hosea 13:5-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. I fed you in the wilderness,in the parched land.

6. When I fed them, they were satisfied;when satisfied, they became proud,therefore they forgot me.

7. So, I will be like a lion to them,like a leopard by the road I will keep watch.

8. I will attack them like a bear robbed of its young,and tear their hearts from their breasts;I will devour them on the spot like a lion,as a wild animal would rip them open.

9. I destroy you, Israel!who is there to help you?

10. Where now is your king,that he may rescue you?And all your princes,that they may defend you?Of whom you said,“Give me a king and princes”?
