Hosea 13:11

⁹ You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against Me— against your helper.

¹⁰ Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?

So in My anger I gave you a king, and in My wrath I took him away.

¹² The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored up.

¹³ Labor pains come upon him, but he is an unwise son. When the time arrives, he fails to present himself at the opening of the womb.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
