13 (A)The pangs of childbirth come for him,
    but he is an unwise son,
for at the right time he does not present himself
    (B)at the opening of the womb.

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

15 Though (J)he may flourish among his brothers,
    (K)the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come,
    rising from the wilderness,
(L)and his fountain shall dry up;
    his spring shall be parched;
it shall strip (M)his treasury
    of every precious thing.
