14 Will I save them from ·the place of the dead [the power of the grave; L the hand of Sheol]?
    Will I ·rescue [redeem] them from death?
·Where are [or Bring on…!] your plagues, death?
    ·Where is [or Bring on…!] your ·pain [destruction], ·place of death [O grave]?
    ·I will show them no mercy [L Pity/compassion is hidden from my eyes].
15 ·Israel is doing well among the nations [L He is fruitful among his brothers],
    but the Lord will send a wind from the east,
coming from the ·desert [wilderness],
    that will dry up his springs and wells of water.
He will ·destroy [plunder] from their treasure houses ·everything of value [every precious/desirable thing].
16 ·The nation of Israel [L Samaria; 10:5] will ·be ruined [or bear its guilt],
    because it ·fought [rebelled] against God.
·The people of Israel will die in war [L They will fall by the sword];
    their ·children [infants; little ones] will be ·torn to [dashed in] pieces,
and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
