Hosea 13:3-11

Hosea 13:3-11 NCV

So those people will be like the morning mist; they will disappear like the morning dew. They will be like chaff blown from the threshing floor, like smoke going out a window. “I, the LORD, have been your God since you were in the land of Egypt. You should have known no other God except me. I am the only one who saves. I cared for them in the desert where it was hot and dry. I gave them food, and they became full and satisfied. But then they became too proud and forgot me. That is why I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard waiting by the road. I will attack like a bear robbed of her cubs, ripping their bodies open. I will devour them like a lion and tear them apart like a wild animal. “Israel, I will destroy you. Who will be your helper then? What good is your king? Can he save you in any of your towns? What good are your leaders? You said, ‘Give us a king and leaders.’ So I gave you a king, but only in anger, and I took him away in my great anger.
