TSK · Hosea 13:7

If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.

Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, [and] their backsliding is increased.

For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.

Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
