Hosea 13:14-16

International Children’s Bible

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.
¹⁵ Israel has become important among the nations.
    But the Lord will send a destroyer from the east.
He will come like a wind from the desert
    that dries up all the springs and wells of water.
He will destroy all their treasures,
    everything of value.
¹⁶ The nation of Israel will be punished,
    because it fought against God.
The people of Israel will die by the sword.
    Their children will be torn to pieces.
    And their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
