“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.”
Hosea 5:14 (WEB)

12Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth,and to the house of Judah like rottenness. 13“When Ephraim saw his sickness,and Judah his wound,then Ephraim went to Assyria,and sent to King Jareb:but he is not able to heal you,neither will he cure you of your wound. 14For 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. 15I will go and return to my place,until they acknowledge their offense,and seek my face.In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
