8I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.
9And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.
10Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now -- And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, `Give to me a king and heads?`
11I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.
12Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
13Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.
14From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes.
