12 The iniquity of Ephraim is (A)bound up;
    his sin is (B)kept in store.
13 (C)The pangs of childbirth come for him,
    but he is an unwise son,
for at the right time he does not present himself
    (D)at the opening of the womb.

14 (E)I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol;
    (F)I shall redeem them from Death.[a]
(G)O (H)Death, where are your plagues?
    (I)O (J)Sheol, where is your sting?
    (K)Compassion is hidden from my eyes.
