Hosea 13:2-6

Therefore they will be like the morning cloud And like dew which soon disappears, Like chaff which is blown away from the threshing floor, And like smoke from a chimney.

Yet I have been the Lord your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.
Hosea 13:5
I cared for you in the wilderness, In the land of drought.
Hosea 13:6
As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And as they became satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me.
