Context of Hosea 13:6

4Yet I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me. 5I knew thee in the wilderness, in the land of drought. According to their pasture, they became full; they became full, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me. 7And I will be unto them as a lion; as a leopard I will lurk for them by the way; 8I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her [whelps], and will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness: the beast of the field shall tear them.

For instance, when they said, who wil give us flesh to eat? We remember the flesh which we did eat in Egypt freely. Our soul is dried up, because…Read the comment
