Hosea 13:4-14 - Death And Resurrection
4 I AM JEHOVAH YOUR GOD. I brought you out of Egypt. You have known no god besides me. There is no savior except me. 5 I took care of you in the desert, in a dry land. 6 When I fed you, you were full. When you were full, you became arrogant. That is why you forgot me. 7 So I will be like a lion. Like a leopard I will wait by the road to ambush you. 8 Like a bear that has lost her cubs, I will attack you. I will rip you open. Like a lion I will devour you. Like a wild animal I will tear you apart. 9 You are destroying yourself, Israel. You are against me, your helper.
10 Where, now, is your king, the one who is supposed to save you? Where in all your cities are your judges? You said: 'Give us kings and officials!' 11 I gave you a king when I was angry, and I took him away when I was furious. 12 Ephraim's wickedness is on record. The record of the people's sins is safely stored away. 13 They have the opportunity to live again, but they are not smart enough to take it. They are like a baby who is about to be born but will not come out of its mother's womb.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave. I will redeem them from death! O death, where are your stings (plagues)? O grave, where is your destruction (devastation)? Compassion will be concealed from my eyes. (1 Co 15:54-57)
