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.

¹² “Ephraim’s wickedness is on record.
The record of the people’s sins is safely stored away.
