Hosea 5:9-14

9One thing is certain, Israel: On your day of punishment, you will become a heap of rubble.

10“The leaders of Judah have become like thieves. So I will pour my anger on them like a waterfall.

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.
