Hosea 13:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Will I ransom them from the power of the grave^[a]
        Will I redeem them from death’s hold?
    Death, where are your diseases?
        Grave,^[b] where is your destruction?
        Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
¹⁵ Although he may flourish among rushes,
        the east wind will come—
    the breath of God
        rising from the wilderness;
    and his spring will dry up;
        his fountain will be dried up.
    It will strip his household
        of every cherished possession.
^16 [c] Samaria will be desolate,
        because she has rebelled against her God;
    by the sword they will fall—
        their babies will be dashed,
    and their pregnant women ripped open.
