TSK · Hosea 13:7

For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, [and] a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased.

For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue [him].

Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
