9. O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in me is your help.
10. I will be your king: where is any other that may save you in all your cities? and your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
11. I gave you a king in my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long where children are born.
