Hosea 13:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 Therefore, they will be like a morning cloud
or like the dew that vanishes with the dawn,
Like chaff storm-driven from the threshing floor(A)
or like smoke out of the window.
4 I, the Lord, am your God,
since the land of Egypt;[a](B)
Gods apart from me you do not know;
there is no savior but me.(C)
5 I fed you in the wilderness,
in the parched land.
