Hosea 13:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.^(A)

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.^(B)
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.^(C)
