Hosea 5:13-15 ▼

13 When Ephraim examined his illness and Judah his injury, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and inquired of the great king; but he could not cure you nor heal your injury.

14 Therefore I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I—even I—will tear them to pieces, and then I will leave. I will take them away, and there will be no rescue.

15 |I will leave and go back to my place until they admit their offense and seek my face. When affliction comes to them, they will eagerly seek me.|
