Hosea 13:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² 
The wickedness of Ephraim [which is not yet completely punished] is bound up [as in a bag];
His sin is stored up [for judgment and destruction].
¹³ 
The pains of childbirth come on him;
But he is not a wise son,
For it is not the time to delay [his chance at a new birth] as the womb opens [but he ignores the opportunity to change].
¹⁴ 
Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead)?
Shall I redeem them from death?
^[a]O death, where are your thorns?
O Sheol, where is your sting?
Compassion is hidden from My eyes [because of their failure to repent].^(A)
