Hosea 13:9-13

It is to your own destruction, Israel, That you are against Me, against your help.

Where then is your king, That he might save you in all your cities; And your judges, to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?

I gave you a king in My anger, And took him away in My wrath.

The guilt of Ephraim is wrapped up; His sin is stored up.

The pains of childbirth come on him; He is not a wise son, For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.
