Hosea 13:7-8
7 So ▼
▼tn The vav consecutive + preterite form וָאֱהִי (vaʾehi) introduces a consequential or result clause; cf. NAB “Therefore,” NCV “That is why.”
I will pounce on them like a lion; ▼▼tn Heb “So I will be like a lion to them” (so NASB, NIV11); cf. NIV84 “I will come upon them like a lion.”
like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
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.
