Hosea 13:9-16

9You are destroyedH7843, O IsraelH3478, because you areH3588 against Me— against your helperH5828.

10Where isH165 your kingH4428 nowH645 1to save youH3467 in allH3605 your citiesH5892,and the rulersH8199 to whomH834 you saidH559,“GiveH5414 me a kingH4428 and princesH8269”?11So in My angerH639 I gaveH5414 you a kingH4428,and in My wrathH5678 I took him awayH3947.

12The iniquityH5771 of EphraimH669 is bound upH6887;his sinH2403 is stored upH6845.13LaborH3205 painsH2256 comeH935 upon him,but he isH1931 an unwiseH3808 H2450 sonH1121.WhenH3588 the time arrivesH6256,heH1121 failsH3808 to present himselfH5975 at the opening of the wombH4866.

14I will ransom themH6299 from the powerH3027 of SheolH7585;I will redeem themH1350 from DeathH4194.2WhereH165, O DeathH4194, are your plaguesH1698?WhereH165, O SheolH7585, is your stingH6987?3

CompassionH5164 is hiddenH5641 from My eyesH5869.

15AlthoughH3588 heH1931 flourishesH6500 amongH1121 his brothersH251,an east windH6921 will comeH935—a windH7307 from the LORDH3068rising upH5927 from the desertH4057.His fountainH4726 will failH3001,and his springH4599 will run dryH2717.The windH1931 will plunderH8154 his treasuryH214of everyH3605 preciousH2532 articleH3627.

16SamariaH8111 will bear her guiltH816becauseH3588 she has rebelledH4784 against her GodH430.They will fallH5307 by the swordH2719;their little onesH5768 will be dashed to piecesH7376,and their pregnantH2030 women ripped openH1234.
