Hosea 13

²Now they sin more and more,

³Therefore they will be like the morning mist,

⁴“Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt;

⁵I knew you in the wilderness,

⁶According to their pasture, so were they filled;

⁷Therefore I am like a lion to them.

⁸I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs,

⁹You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me,

¹⁰Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities?

¹¹I have given you a king in my anger,

¹²The guilt of Ephraim is stored up.

¹³The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him.

¹⁴I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.

¹⁵Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come,

¹⁶Samaria will bear her guilt,
