Hosea 13:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ I knew^[a] you in the wilderness,
    in the land of great drought.
⁶ When they had pasture, they were satisfied.
    They were satisfied, and their heart was exalted;
    therefore they forgot Me.
⁷ So I will be like a lion to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
