13 Labor pains come on him.(A)
He is not a wise son;(B)
when the time comes,
he will not be born.[a](C)

14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.
I will redeem[b] them from death.(D)
Death, where are your barbs?
Sheol, where is your sting?(E)
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.(F)

The Coming Judgment

15 Although he flourishes among his brothers,[c](G)
an east wind will come,(H)
a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.
His water source will fail,
and his spring will run dry.(I)
The wind[d] will plunder the treasury(J)
of every precious item.
