Hosea 13:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ The pain of birth will come for him,
    but he is like a foolish baby
    who won’t come out of its mother’s womb.
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.
