Hosea 13:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ When I fed^[a] them, they were satisfied;
    they were satisfied, and their heart was proud;
    therefore they forgot me.^(A)
7 So I will become like a lion to them;
    like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.^(B)
8 I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs
    and will tear open the covering of their heart;
there I will devour them like a lion,
    as a wild animal would mangle them.
