Hosea 13:9-16

9I will destroy you, Israel; you have no help but me.

10Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities, and the rulers you demanded, saying, “Give me a king and leaders”?

11I give you a king in my anger and take away a king in my wrath.

12Ephraim’s guilt is preserved; his sin is stored up.

13Labor pains come on him. He is not a wise son; when the time comes, he will not be born.

14I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where are your barbs? Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

15Although he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come, a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert. His water source will fail, and his spring will run dry. The wind will plunder the treasury of every precious item.

16Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their children will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
