13:6 When they were fed, 1 they became satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud; 2
as a result, they forgot me!
13:7 So 3 I will pounce on them like a lion; 4
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
13:8 I will attack them like a bear robbed of her cubs –
I will rip open their chests.
I will devour them there like a lion –
like a wild animal would tear them apart.
13:9 I will destroy you, 5 O Israel!
Who 6 is there to help you?
13:10 Where 7 then is your king,
that he may save you in all your cities?
Where are 8 your rulers for whom you asked, saying,
“Give me a king and princes”?
13:11 I granted 9 you a king in my anger,
and I will take him away in my wrath!
13:12 The punishment 10 of Ephraim has been decreed; 11
his punishment is being stored up for the future.
13:13 The labor pains of a woman will overtake him,
but the baby will lack wisdom;
when the time arrives,
he will not come out of the womb!
13:14 Will I deliver them from the power of Sheol? No, I will not! 12
Will I redeem them from death? No, I will not!
O Death, bring on your plagues! 13
O Sheol, bring on your destruction! 14
My eyes will not show any compassion! 15
13:15 Even though he flourishes like a reed plant, 16
a scorching east wind will come,
a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.
As a result, his spring will dry up; 17
his well will become dry.
That wind 18 will spoil all his delightful foods
in the containers in his storehouse.
13:16 (14:1) 19 Samaria will be held guilty, 20
because she rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword,
their infants will be dashed to the ground –
their 21 pregnant women will be ripped open.
