Hosea 5:11-15

11The people of Israel will be crushed and broken by my judgment because they are determined to worship idols.

12I will destroy Israel as a moth consumes wool. I will make Judah as weak as rotten wood.

13“When Israel and Judah saw how sick they were, Israel turned to Assyria— to the great king there— but he could neither help nor cure them.

14I will be like a lion to Israel, like a strong young lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces! I will carry them off, and no one will be left to rescue them.

15Then I will return to my place until they admit their guilt and turn to me. For as soon as trouble comes, they will earnestly search for me.”
