Hosea 13:15

Hosea 13:15

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.

16 Samaria¹ is held guilty,
For she has ^arebelled against her God.
They shall fall by the sword,
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
And their women with child ^bripped open.

<< Hosea 13:14

Hosea 13:16 >>

He - Ephraim. His brethren - Either the rest of the tribes, or the nations who by league are become as his brethren. An east - wind - An enemy as pernicious to his estate as the east - wind is to fruits. Of the Lord - A mighty enemy, called here the wind of the Lord, the usual superlative in Hebrew. The wilderness - Which lay south - east from Canaan. The south - east winds in that country were of all, most hot and blasting. He - The Assyrian army. Shall spoil - Shall carry away all desirable vessels and furniture.
