Hosea 13:14-16
Living Bible
14 Shall I ransom him from hell? Shall I redeem him from Death? O Death, bring forth your terrors for his tasting! O Grave, demonstrate your plagues! For I will not relent!
15 “He was called the most fruitful of all his brothers, but the east wind—a wind of the Lord from the desert—will blow hard upon him and dry up his land. All his flowing springs and green oases will dry away, and he will die of thirst. 16 Samaria must bear her guilt, for she rebelled against her God. Her people will be killed by the invading army, her babies dashed to death against the ground, her pregnant women ripped open with a sword.”

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]
