I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
Leopard
In Hosea 13:7, a leopard signifies ideas which appear to be coherent, but in reality are not. (Apocalypse Explained 781)
'A leopard,' as in Revelation 13:2, being a crafty and insidious animal, represents people who, "versed in reasoning adroitly", confirm faith separate from good works. 'A leopard' signifies the affection or lust of falsifying the truths of the Word. (Apocalypse Explained 780)
