Hosea 13:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
Hosea 13:7-8 New Living Translation (NLT)
7 So now I will attack you like a lion,
like a leopard that lurks along the road.
8 Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away,
I will tear out your heart.
I will devour you like a hungry lioness
and mangle you like a wild animal.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
7 Lions are very strong and leopards are quick. Attacks from satan are bad but we don’t want to be against the Lord and have His attack.
8 Bears are very protective of their young; nothing can really walk away when a bear is defending the cub. Lions eat all meat and don’t take long for to get hungry, in Daniel the hungry lions ate the men before they even hit the ground. This was not to be a good fate for them but a worst fate waits those who reject Jesus.
