Hosea 13:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ Will I save them from the place of the dead?
    Will I rescue them from death?
Where is your sickness, death?
    Where is your pain, place of death?
    I will show them no mercy.
¹⁵ Israel is doing well among the nations,
    but the Lord will send a wind from the east,
coming from the desert,
    that will dry up his springs and wells of water.
He will destroy from their treasure houses everything of value.
¹⁶ The nation of Israel will be ruined,
    because it fought against God.
The people of Israel will die in war;
    their children will be torn to pieces,
    and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
