Hosea 13:14-16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
14 Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol?
Shall I redeem them from Death?
O Death, where are[a] your plagues?
O Sheol, where is[b] your destruction?
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
15 Although he may flourish among rushes,[c]
the east wind shall come, a blast from the Lord,
rising from the wilderness;
and his fountain shall dry up,
his spring shall be parched.
It shall strip his treasury
of every precious thing.
16 [d] Samaria shall bear her guilt,
because she has rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword,
their little ones shall be dashed in pieces,
and their pregnant women ripped open.
