Exegesis
The next element, malkekha {מַלְכְּךָ | mal-kə-khā} ‘your king’, is placed early for emphasis, while efo {אֵפֹוא | ʾê-pōʾ} adds a pointed “now then” tone that sharpens the taunt.
In context — Hosea 13:10
Where now is your king , that he may save you in all your cities? And where are your judges , of whom you said, “Give to me a king and princes”?
