Hosea 13:6-11 New English Translation (NET)

6. When they were fed, they became satisfied;when they were satisfied, they became proud;as a result, they forgot me!

7. So I will pounce on them like a lion;like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

8. I will attack them like a bear robbed of her cubs – I will rip open their chests.I will devour them there like a lion – like a wild animal would tear them apart.

9. I will destroy you, O Israel!Who is there to help you?

10. Where then is your king, that he may save you in all your cities?Where are your rulers for whom you asked, saying,“Give me a king and princes”?

11. I granted you a king in my anger,and I will take him away in my wrath!
