Hosea 5:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ When Ephraim saw his sickness,
    and Judah saw his wound,
    Ephraim went to Assyria
    and sent to the Great King for help,
    but he is not able to heal you,
    and he will not cure your wound,
¹⁴ because I will be like a lion to Ephraim
    and like a young lion to the house of Judah.
    Yes, I will tear him to pieces and go away.
    I will carry them off, and there will be no one who can rescue them.
¹⁵ I will go. I will return to my place
    until they admit their guilt and seek my face.
    In their distress they will earnestly seek me.
