Hosea 13 (WEBP)

[1] When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
[2] Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, ‘They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.’
[3] Therefore they will be like the morning mist, like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
[4] “Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
[5] I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
[6] According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
[7] Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
[8] I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
[9] You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.
[10] Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and princes’?
[11] I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
[12] The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
[13] The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son, for when it is time, he doesn’t come to the opening of the womb.
[14] I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.
[15] Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
[16] Samaria will bear her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”

Hosea 13:14 Sheol is the place of the dead.

Hosea 13 (BYZ)

[1] κατα τον λογον εφραιμ δικαιωματα αυτος ελαβεν εν τω ισραηλ και εθετο αυτα τη βααλ και απεθανεν
[2] και προσεθετο του αμαρτανειν ετι και εποιησαν εαυτοις χωνευμα εκ του αργυριου αυτων κατ εικονα ειδωλων εργα τεκτονων συντετελεσμενα αυτοις αυτοι λεγουσιν θυσατε ανθρωπους μοσχοι γαρ εκλελοιπασιν
[3] δια τουτο εσονται ως νεφελη πρωινη και ως δροσος ορθρινη πορευομενη ωσπερ χνους αποφυσωμενος αφ αλωνος και ως ατμις απο ακριδων
[4] εγω δε κυριος ο θεος σου στερεων ουρανον και κτιζων γην ου αι χειρες εκτισαν πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου και ου παρεδειξα σοι αυτα του πορευεσθαι οπισω αυτων και εγω ανηγαγον σε εκ γης αιγυπτου και θεον πλην εμου ου γνωση και σωζων ουκ εστιν παρεξ εμου
[5] εγω εποιμαινον σε εν τη ερημω εν γη αοικητω
[6] κατα τας νομας αυτων και ενεπλησθησαν εις πλησμονην και υψωθησαν αι καρδιαι αυτων ενεκα τουτου επελαθοντο μου
[7] και εσομαι αυτοις ως πανθηρ και ως παρδαλις κατα την οδον ασσυριων
[8] απαντησομαι αυτοις ως αρκος απορουμενη και διαρρηξω συγκλεισμον καρδιας αυτων και καταφαγονται αυτους εκει σκυμνοι δρυμου θηρια αγρου διασπασει αυτους
[9] τη διαφθορα σου ισραηλ τις βοηθησει
[10] που ο βασιλευς σου ουτος και διασωσατω σε εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν σου κρινατω σε ον ειπας δος μοι βασιλεα και αρχοντα
[11] και εδωκα σοι βασιλεα εν οργη μου και εσχον εν τω θυμω μου
[12] συστροφην αδικιας εφραιμ εγκεκρυμμενη η αμαρτια αυτου
[13] ωδινες ως τικτουσης ηξουσιν αυτω ουτος ο υιος σου ου φρονιμος διοτι ου μη υποστη εν συντριβη τεκνων
[14] εκ χειρος αδου ρυσομαι αυτους και εκ θανατου λυτρωσομαι αυτους που η δικη σου θανατε που το κεντρον σου αδη παρακλησις κεκρυπται απο οφθαλμων μου
[15] διοτι ουτος ανα μεσον αδελφων διαστελει επαξει ανεμον καυσωνα κυριος εκ της ερημου επ αυτον και αναξηρανει τας φλεβας αυτου εξερημωσει τας πηγας αυτου αυτος καταξηρανει την γην αυτου και παντα τα σκευη τα επιθυμητα αυτου
[16] [14:1] αφανισθησεται σαμαρεια οτι αντεστη προς τον θεον αυτης εν ρομφαια πεσουνται αυτοι και τα υποτιτθια αυτων εδαφισθησονται και αι εν γαστρι εχουσαι αυτων διαρραγησονται
