Hosea 13:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “Israel, you will be destroyed.
    I helped you. But you turned against me.
¹⁰ Where is your king?
    Wasn’t he supposed to save you?
Where are the rulers in all your towns?
    You said, ‘Give us a king and princes.’
¹¹ So I became angry and gave you a king.
    Then I took him away from you.
