Hosea 13:12-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
His sin is ^(A)stored up.
¹³ The pains of ^(B)childbirth come upon him;
He is ^(C)not a wise son,
For ^[a]it is not the time that he should ^(D)delay at the opening of the womb.
¹⁴ Shall I ^(E)ransom them from the ^[b]power of Sheol?
Shall I redeem them from death?
^(F)O Death, where are your thorns?
O Sheol, where is your sting?
^(G)Compassion will be hidden from My sight.
