The King James Version Bible

Hosea 13:9-14

  1. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

  2. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

  3. I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

  4. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

  5. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.

  6. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
