Hosea 13:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ So I will be like a lion to them.
    Like a leopard, I will lurk along the path.
⁸ I will come upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs.
    I will tear the cover off their hearts.
    Then I will devour them like a lioness.
    The wild animals will rip them apart.
⁹ This is what has destroyed you, Israel:
    the fact that you are against me, against your helper.^[a]
