Hosea 13:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
13 The pangs of childbirth come for him,
but he is an unwise son;
for at the proper time he does not present himself
at the mouth of the womb.
14 Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol?
Shall I redeem them from Death?
O Death, where are[a] your plagues?
O Sheol, where is[b] your destruction?
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
15 Although he may flourish among rushes,[c]
the east wind shall come, a blast from the Lord,
rising from the wilderness;
and his fountain shall dry up,
his spring shall be parched.
It shall strip his treasury
of every precious thing.
