Exegesis
Each verb is followed by a prepositional phrase—be-api {בְּאַפִּ֔י | bə-ʾap-pî} ‘in My anger’ and be-evrati {בְּעֶבְרָתִֽי | bə-ʿeḇ-rā-tî} ‘in My wrath’—which frames both actions as driven by divine displeasure. Although the Hebrew forms are imperfect, in this prophetic context they are naturally read as a retrospective divine assessment of what God did in Israel’s history; English past tense communicates that discourse force while keeping the same agent (“I”) and the same emotional motivation (“in My anger… in My wrath”). The object “him” with “took away” is supplied from the prior “king,” reflecting Hebrew ellipsis in the second clause.
In context — Hosea 13:11
I gave you a king in My anger, and I took him away in My wrath.
