13:11 I granted 1 you a king in my anger,
and I will take him away in my wrath!
13:12 The punishment 2 of Ephraim has been decreed; 3
his punishment is being stored up for the future.
13:13 The labor pains of a woman will overtake him,
but the baby will lack wisdom;
when the time arrives,
he will not come out of the womb!
13:14 Will I deliver them from the power of Sheol? No, I will not! 4
Will I redeem them from death? No, I will not!
O Death, bring on your plagues! 5
O Sheol, bring on your destruction! 6
My eyes will not show any compassion! 7
13:15 Even though he flourishes like a reed plant, 8
a scorching east wind will come,
a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.
As a result, his spring will dry up; 9
his well will become dry.
That wind 10 will spoil all his delightful foods
in the containers in his storehouse.
13:16 (14:1) 11 Samaria will be held guilty, 12
because she rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword,
their infants will be dashed to the ground –
their 13 pregnant women will be ripped open.
