Hosea 13:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ So I will be ^(A)like a lion to them;
Like a ^(B)leopard I will ^[a]lie in wait by the wayside.
⁸ I will encounter them ^(C)like a bear robbed of her cubs,
And I will tear open ^[b]their chests;
There I will also ^(D)devour them like a lioness,
As a wild beast would tear them.

⁹ It is your destruction, O Israel,
^[c]That you are ^(E)against Me, against your ^(F)help.
