TSK · Hosea 5:14

Your ox will be slaughtered before your very eyes but you will not eat of it. Your donkey will be stolen from you as you watch and will not be returned to you. Your flock of sheep will be given to your enemies and there will be no one to save you.

although you know that I am not guilty, and that there is no one who can deliver out of your hand?

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

Their roar is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.

I will destroy her vines and fig trees, about which she said,“These are my wages for prostitution that my lovers gave to me!” I will turn her cultivated vines and fig trees into an uncultivated thicket, so that wild animals will devour them.

So I will pounce on them like a lion; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?
