Hosea 13:8
Konteks13:8 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.
Amos 5:18-19
Konteks5:18 Woe 1 to those who wish for the day of the Lord!
Why do you want the Lord’s day of judgment to come?
It will bring darkness, not light.
5:19 Disaster will be inescapable, 2
as if a man ran from a lion only to meet a bear,
then escaped 3 into a house,
leaned his hand against the wall,
and was bitten by a poisonous snake.
[5:18] 1 tn The term הוֹי (hoy, “woe”) was used when mourning the dead (see the note on the word “dead” in 5:16). The prophet here either engages in role playing and mourns the death of the nation in advance or sarcastically taunts those who hold to this misplaced belief.
[5:19] 2 tn The words “Disaster will be inescapable” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
