As the Morning Cloud — Hosea 13:7–11

Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;

I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.

It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against me, against thy help.

Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst,
Give me a king and princes?

I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
