New International Version Anglicized

Hosea 13:8-13 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

8. Like a bear robbed of her cubs,I will attack them and rip them open;like a lion I will devour them –a wild animal will tear them apart.

9. ‘You are destroyed, Israel,because you are against me, against your helper.

10. Where is your king, that he may save you?Where are your rulers in all your towns,of whom you said,“Give me a king and princes”?

11. So in my anger I gave you a king,and in my wrath I took him away.

12. The guilt of Ephraim is stored up,his sins are kept on record.

13. Pains as of a woman in childbirth come to him,but he is a child without wisdom;when the time arrives,he doesn’t have the sense to come out of the womb.
