Hosea 13:13

Hosea 13:13

11 ^aI gave you a king in My anger,
And took him away in My wrath.

12 “The^a iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
His sin is stored up.

13 ^aThe sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him.
He is an unwise son,
For he should not stay long where children are born.

14 “I will ransom them from the¹ power of the grave;
I will redeem them from death.
^aO Death,¹ I will be yo¹ur plagues!
O Grave,² I will be your destruction!
^bPity is hidden from My eyes.”

15 Though he is fruitful among his brethren,
^aAn east wind shall come;
The wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness.
Then his spring shall become dry,
And his fountain shall be dried up.
He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hosea 13:12

Hosea 13:14 >>

The sorrows - The punishment of his sins will overtake him suddenly, with great anguish. An unwise son - A foolish son, who endangers himself and his mother. He should not stay - As a child that sticks in the birth, so is Ephraim, one while will, another while will not return to God; and thus dies under the delay.
