Hosea 13:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² The sins of Israel are on record.
    They are filed away, waiting for punishment.
¹³ Israel has a chance to live again,
    but the people are too foolish to take it.
They are like an unborn baby
    who won’t come out of its mother’s womb.
¹⁴ So I will not save them from the place where the dead are.
    I will not rescue them from death.
I will call on death to hurt them.
    I will call on the place where the dead are to destroy them.
    I will show them no mercy.
