Hosea 13:11

I granted ¹  you a king in my anger, and I will take him away in my wrath!

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

I gave you a king in My anger And took him away in My wrath.

In my anger I gave you kings, and in my fury I took them away.

Well, long ago I gave you a king, but I wasn't happy about it. Now, fed up, I've gotten rid of him.

I have given you a king, because I was angry, and have taken him away in my wrath.

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

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

I granted ¹  you a king in my anger, and I will take him away in my wrath!

¹ tn The prefix-conjugation verb אֶתֶּן (’eten, “I gave”) refers to past-time action, specifying a definite past event (the enthronement of Saul); therefore, this should be classified as a preterite. While imperfects are occasionally used in reference to past-time events, they depict repeated action in the past. See IBHS 502-4 §31.2 and 510-14 §31.6.
