Hosea 13:5 in context

  1. 3Therefore they will be like the morning mist,
    and like the dew that passes away early,
    like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor,
    and like the smoke out of the chimney.
  2. 4“Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt;
    and you shall acknowledge no god but me,
    and besides me there is no savior.
  3. 5I knew you in the wilderness,
    in the land of great drought.
  4. 6According to their pasture, so were they filled;
    they were filled, and their heart was exalted.
    Therefore they have forgotten me.
  5. 7Therefore I am like a lion to them.
    Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
