Context of Hosea 13:6

4Yet I have been the Lord your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me. 5I cared for you in the wilderness, In the land of drought. As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And as they became satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me. 7So I will be like a lion to them; Like a leopard I will lie in wait by the wayside. 8I will confront them like a bear deprived of her cubs, And I will tear open their chests; I will also devour them there like a lioness, As a wild animal would tear them to pieces.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6According to their pasture, so were they filled - o“He implies that their way of being filled‘ was neither good nor praiseworthy, in that he says, they were filled according to their pastures.‘ What or of what kind were these “their pastures?” What they longed for, what they murmured for, and spoke evil of God.
