Hosea 13:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷So I will be like a lion to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
⁸I will attack them like a bear bereaved of her cubs,
    and will tear open their rib cage.
There I will devour them like a lion,
    as the wild beast would tear them to pieces.

⁹O Israel, you are destroyed,^[a]
but in Me is your help.
