Hos 13:6According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Hos 13:7Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:

Hos 13:9O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
