Hosea 13:7-8

^{Tools
7}

So I will be ^(A)like a lion to them;
Like a ^(B)leopard I will ^(a)lie in wait by the wayside.

^{Tools

I will encounter them ^(C)like a bear robbed of her cubs,
And I will tear open ^(b)their chests;
There I will also ^(D)devour them like a lioness,
As a wild beast would tear them.
