12 Ephraim’s guilt is preserved;
his sin is stored up.(A)
13 Labor pains come on him.(B)
He is not a wise son;(C)
when the time comes,
he will not be born.[a](D)

14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.
I will redeem[b] them from death.(E)
Death, where are your barbs?
Sheol, where is your sting?(F)
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.(G)
