“I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.I will redeem them from death!Death, where are your plagues?Sheol, where is your destruction?“Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.”
Hosea 13:14 (WEB)
Context Reading
12The guilt of Ephraim is stored up.His sin is stored up. 13The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him.He is an unwise son,for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb. 14I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.I will redeem them from death!Death, where are your plagues?Sheol, where is your destruction?“Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. 15Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come,the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness;and his spring will become dry,and his fountain will be dried up.He will plunder the storehouse of treasure. 16Samaria will bear her guilt,for she has rebelled against her God.They will fall by the sword.Their infants will be dashed in pieces,and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
