Hosea 13:9

Read in context

Hosea 13:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 So like a lion I will pounce on them; like a leopard I will lurk by the path.

8 Like a bear robbed of her cubs I will attack them, and I will tear open their chests. There I will devour them like a lion, like a wild beast would tear them apart.

9 You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.

10 Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?

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