Hosea 13:14-16
Good News Translation
14 (A)I will not save this people from the world of the dead or rescue them from the power of death. Bring on[a] your plagues, death! Bring on[b] your destruction, world of the dead! I will no longer have pity for this people. 15 Even though Israel flourishes like weeds,[c] I will send a hot east wind from the desert, and it will dry up their springs and wells. It will take away everything of value. 16 Samaria must be punished for rebelling against me. Her people will die in war; babies will be dashed to the ground, and pregnant women will be ripped open.”

Hosea 13:14-16
New International Version
14 “I will deliver this people from the power of the grave;(A)
I will redeem them from death.(B)
Where, O death, are your plagues?
Where, O grave, is your destruction?(C)
“I will have no compassion,
15 even though he thrives(D) among his brothers.
An east wind(E) from the Lord will come,
blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
and his well dry up.(F)
His storehouse will be plundered(G)
of all its treasures.
16 The people of Samaria(H) must bear their guilt,(I)
because they have rebelled(J) against their God.
They will fall by the sword;(K)
their little ones will be dashed(L) to the ground,
their pregnant women(M) ripped open.”[a]
