⁹ “You are destroyed, Israel,
    because you are against me,^(A) against your helper.^(B)
10 Where is your king,^(C) that he may save you?
    Where are your rulers in all your towns,
of whom you said,
    ‘Give me a king and princes’?^(D)
11 So in my anger I gave you a king,^(E)
    and in my wrath I took him away.^(F)
12 The guilt of Ephraim is stored up,
    his sins are kept on record.^(G)

¹⁵     even though he thrives^(A) among his brothers.
An east wind^(B) from the Lord will come,
    blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
    and his well dry up.^(C)
His storehouse will be plundered^(D)
    of all its treasures.
