10Where now is your king
         That he may save you in all your cities,
         And your judges of whom you requested,
         “Give me a king and princes”?

11I gave you a king in My anger
         And took him away in My wrath.

12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
         His sin is stored up.

13The pains of childbirth come upon him;
         He is not a wise son,
         For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.

14Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol?
         Shall I redeem them from death?
         O Death, where are your thorns?
         O Sheol, where is your sting?
         Compassion will be hidden from My sight.

15Though he flourishes among the reeds,
         An east wind will come,
         The wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness;
         And his fountain will become dry
         And his spring will be dried up;
         It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.

16Samaria will be held guilty,
         For she has rebelled against her God.
         They will fall by the sword,
         Their little ones will be dashed in pieces,
         And their pregnant women will be ripped open.
