Hosea 13:8

Synd

⁶ When they had pasture, they became satisfied; when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and as a result they forgot Me.

⁷ So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast would tear them apart.

⁹ You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.

¹⁰ Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
