Hosea 5:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹²Therefore I am like a moth to E′phraim,
and like dry rot to the house of Judah.

¹³When E′phraim saw his sickness,
    and Judah his wound,
then E′phraim went to Assyria,
    and sent to the great king.^[a]
But he is not able to cure you
    or heal your wound.
¹⁴For I will be like a lion to E′phraim,
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I, even I, will rend and go away,
    I will carry off, and none shall rescue.
