Hosea 5:12-14
Contemporary English Version

12 Now I, the Lord,
will fill Israel with maggots
    and make Judah rot.
13 When Israel and Judah saw
    their sickness and wounds,
Israel asked help from Assyria
    and its mighty king.[a]

But the king cannot cure them
    or heal their wounds.
14 So I'll become a fierce lion
    attacking Israel and Judah.
I'll snatch and carry off
what I want,
    and no one can stop me.
