Hosea 5:12-14
King James Version
12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

Hosea 5:12-14
New King James Version
12 Therefore I will be to Ephraim like a moth,
And to the house of Judah (A)like rottenness.
13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness,
And Judah saw his (B)wound,
Then Ephraim went (C)to Assyria
And sent to King Jareb;
Yet he cannot cure you,
Nor heal you of your wound.
14 For (D)I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
And like a young lion to the house of Judah.
(E)I, even I, will tear them and go away;
I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
