9 “You are destroyed, Israel,

because you are against me, against your helper.

10 Where is your king, that he may save you?

Where are your rulers in all your towns,

of 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.

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

10 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?

11 I gave thee a king in mine anger,

And took him away in my wrath.

9 “You are about to be destroyed, O Israel—

yes, by me, your only helper.

10 Now where is your king?

Let him save you!

Where are all the leaders of the land,

the king and the officials you demanded of me?

11 In my anger I gave you kings,

and in my fury I took them away.

9 “O Israel, you are destroyed,

But your help is from Me.

10 I will be your King;

Where is any other,

That he may save you in all your cities?

And your judges to 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.

9 “Israel, I will destroy you.

Who will be your helper then?

10 What good is your king?

Can he save you in any of your towns?

What good are your leaders?

You said, ‘Give us a king and leaders.’

11 So I gave you a king, but only in anger,

and I took him away in my great anger.

9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against me, against thy help. 10 Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? 11 I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.

9 It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against me, against thy help. 10 Where then is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? — 11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

9 You are destroying yourself, Israel. 

You are against me, your helper. 

10 “Where, now, is your king, the one who is supposed to save you? 

Where in all your cities are your judges? 

You said, ‘Give us kings and officials!’ 

11 I gave you a king when I was angry, 

and I took him away when I was furious. 

9 I will destroy you, Israel;

you have no help but Me.

10 Where now is your king,

that he may save you in all your cities,

and the rulers you demanded, saying,

“Give me a king and leaders”?

11 I give you a king in My anger

and take away a king in My wrath.

9 I will destroy you, O Israel;

who can help you?

10 Where now is your king, that he may save you?

Where in all your cities are your rulers,

of whom you said,

“Give me a king and rulers”?

11 I gave you a king in my anger,

and I took him away in my wrath.

9 I will destroy you, O Israel;

who will help you?

10 Where now is your king that he may save you?

Where in all your cities are your judges,

of whom you said, “Give to

me a king and rulers?”

11 I gave you a king in my anger,

and I took him in my wrath.

9 “Israel, you will be destroyed.

I helped you. But you turned against me.

10 Where is your king?

Wasn’t he supposed to save you?

Where are the rulers in all of your towns?

You said, ‘Give us a king and princes.’

11 So I became angry and gave you a king.

Then I took him away from you.

9 It is your destruction, O Israel,

That you are against Me, against your help.

10 Where 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”?

11 I gave you a king in My anger

And took him away in My wrath.
