Hosea 5:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ “When Israel saw its illness
    and Judah saw its wounds,
Israel went to Assyria for help
    and sent to the great king of Assyria.
But he cannot heal you
    or cure your wounds.
¹⁴ I will be like a lion to Israel,
    like a young lion to Judah.
I will attack them
    and tear them to pieces.
I will drag them off,
    and no one will be able to save them.
¹⁵ Then I will go back to my place
    until they suffer for their guilt and turn back to me.
    In their trouble they will look for me.”
