Hosea 5:12 in Context — Hosea 5

10 Los príncipes de Judá fueron como los que traspasan mojones: derramaré sobre ellos como agua mi ira.

11 Ephraim es vejado, quebrantado en juicio, porque quiso andar en pos de mandamientos.

12 Yo pues seré como polilla á Ephraim, y como carcoma á la casa de Judá.

13 Y verá Ephraim su enfermedad, y Judá su llaga: irá entonces Ephraim al Assur, y enviará al rey Jareb; mas él no os podrá sanar, ni os curará la llaga.

14 Porque yo seré como león á Ephraim, y como cachorro de león á la casa de Judá: yo, yo arrebataré, y andaré; tomaré, y no habrá quien liberte.
