14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.
I will redeem[a] them from death.(A)
Death, where are your barbs?
Sheol, where is your sting?(B)
Compassion is hidden from my eyes.(C)

The Coming Judgment

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

16 Samaria(H) will bear her guilt(I)
because she has rebelled against her God.(J)
They will fall by the sword;(K)
their children will be dashed to pieces,(L)
and their pregnant women ripped open.(M)
