Context of Hosea 13:6
4I have been the Lord your God ever since the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and no Savior exists besides me. 5I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought. When they had pasture, they became satisfied; they were satisfied, and their hearts became proud. Therefore they forgot me. 7So I will be like a lion to them; I will lurk like a leopard on the path. 8I will attack them like a bear robbed of her cubs and tear open the rib cage over their hearts. I will devour them there like a lioness, like a wild beast that would rip them open.
