Hosea 13:3-5

Modern English Version

³Therefore they will be like the morning cloud,
    or like the early dew that passes away,
    like chaff blown off the threshing floor,
    or like the smoke from a chimney.

⁴Yet I am the Lord your God
    ever since the land of Egypt.
You know no God but Me,
    and there is no savior besides Me.
⁵I knew^[a] you in the wilderness,
    in the land of great drought.
