Exegesis

The verse is a tightly structured prophetic declaration initiated by the fronted prepositional phrases misheol {מִשְּׁאוֹל | miš-šə-ʾōl} ‘from Sheol’ and mimmavet {מִמָּוֶת | mim-mā-weṯ} ‘from death,’ which emphasize the realms from which deliverance is proclaimed.

In contextHosea 13:14

I will ransom them from Sheol ; I will redeem them from death. O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction ? Compassion will be hidden from My eyes.
