Israel’s King Unable to Deliver the Nation I will destroy you, O Israel! Who is there to help you?
Where then is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? Where are your rulers for whom you asked, saying,“Give me a king and princes”?
I granted you a king in my anger, and I will take him away in my wrath!
