Hosea 5:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Therefore, I am like an infectious sore for Ephraim,
    like maggots for the house of Judah.
¹³ When Ephraim realized that he was ill
    and Judah noted that he was covered with sores,
Ephraim went to Assyria,
    and Judah sent envoys to the great king.
However, he has no power to cure you
    or to heal your sores.
¹⁴ For I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
    like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will maul them and depart;
    I will carry them off,
    and no one will be able to rescue them.
