Hosea 13:9-13

9It is your destruction, O Israel, Because you are against Me, [and have rebelled] against your help.

10Where now is your king That he may save you [when you are attacked] in all your cities? And your judges of whom you asked, “Give me a king and princes”?

11I gave you a king in My anger, And I took him away in My wrath [as punishment].

12The wickedness of Ephraim [which is not yet completely punished] is bound up [as in a bag]; His sin is stored up [for judgment and destruction].

13The pains of childbirth come on him; But he is not a wise son, For it is not the time to delay [his chance at a new birth] as the womb opens [but he ignores the opportunity to change].
