Hosea 13:9-16

9He destroys you, O Israel, for you are against me, against your helper.

10Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities? Where are all your rulers— those of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?

11I gave you a king in my anger, and I took him away in my wrath.

12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is kept in store.

13The pangs of childbirth come for him, but he is an unwise son, for at the right time he does not present himself at the opening of the womb.

14I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol; I shall redeem them from Death. O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from my eyes.

15Though he may flourish among his brothers, the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come, rising from the wilderness, and his fountain shall dry up; his spring shall be parched; it shall strip his treasury of every precious thing.

16Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
