Hosea 13:5-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
5I cared for you in the wilderness, In the land of drought. 6As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And as they became satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me. 7So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside. 8I will confront them like a bear deprived of her cubs, And I will tear open their chests; I will also devour them there like a lioness, As a wild animal would tear them to pieces. 9 It is to your own destruction, Israel, That you are against Me, against your help. 10Where then is your king, That he might save you in all your cities; And your judges, to whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes'? 11I gave you a king in My anger, And took him away in My wrath. 12The guilt of Ephraim is wrapped up; His sin is stored up.King James Version

Chapter 13
5I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought. 6When they had pasture, they became satisfied; they were satisfied, and their hearts became proud. Therefore they forgot me. 7So I will be like a lion to them; I will lurk like a leopard on the path. 8I will attack them like a bear robbed of her cubs and tear open the rib cage over their hearts. I will devour them there like a lioness, like a wild beast that would rip them open.
9I will destroy you, Israel; you have no help but me.
10Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities, and the rulers you demanded, saying, "Give me a king and leaders"?
11I give you a king in my anger and take away a king in my wrath.
12Ephraim’s guilt is preserved; his sin is stored up.
New Living Translation
Chapter 13
5I took care of you in the wilderness, in that dry and thirsty land. 6But when you had eaten and were satisfied, you became proud and forgot me. 7So now I will attack you like a lion, like a leopard that lurks along the road. 8Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away, I will tear out your heart. I will devour you like a hungry lioness and mangle you like a wild animal.English Standard Version
Chapter 13
5 It was I who knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought; 6 but when they had grazed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me. 7So I am to them like a lion; like a leopard I will lurk beside the way. 8I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs; I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rip them open. 9He destroys you, O Israel, for you are against me, against your helper. 10 Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities? Where are all your rulers — those of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"? 11 I gave you a king in my anger, and I took him away in my wrath. 12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is kept in store.New International Version
Chapter 13
5I cared for you in the wilderness, in the land of burning heat. 6When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me. 7So I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
8Like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will attack them and rip them open; like a lion I will devour them— a wild animal will tear them apart.
9"You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
10Where is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your towns, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
11So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away.
12The guilt of Ephraim is stored up, his sins are kept on record.
