Hosea 13:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ I will destroy you, O Israel;
    who^[a] can help you?
¹⁰ Where^[b] now is your king, to save you;
    where are all^[c] your princes,^[d] to defend you^[e]—
those of whom you said,
    “Give me a king and princes”?
¹¹ I have given you kings in my anger,
    and I have taken them away in my wrath.
