Hosea 13:13-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. Labor pains come on him. He is not a wise son; when the time comes,he will not be born.

14. I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.I will redeem them from death. Death, where are your barbs?Sheol, where is your sting? Compassion is hidden from My eyes.

15. Although he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come, a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.His water source will fail,and his spring will run dry. The wind will plunder the treasury of every precious item.

16. Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
