13:14. I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my eyes.
13:15. Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
Osee Chapter 14
Samaria shall be destroyed. An exhortation to repentance: God's favour through Christ to the penitent.
14:1. Let Samaria perish, becsuse she hath stirred up her God to bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be dashed, and let the women with child be ripped up.
Perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness… It is not a curse or imprecation, but a prophecy of what should come to pass.
14:2. Return, O Israel, to the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen down by thy iniquity.
