In context

3Therefore shall they be as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that passes away, as chaff blown away from the threshing floor, and as a vapor from tears.

4But I am the Lord thy God that establishes the heaven, and creates the earth, whose hands have framed the whole host of heaven: but I showed them not to thee that thou shouldest go after them: and I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me; and there is no Savior beside me.

— Hosea 13:5 —

6According to their pastures, so they were completely filled; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they forgot me.

7And I will be to them as a panther, and as a leopard.
