13 You are like a senseless child
who refuses to be born
    at the proper time.
14 (A) Should I, the Lord, rescue you
    from death and the grave?
No! I call death and the grave
to strike you like a plague.
    I refuse to show mercy.

15 No matter if you prosper
    more than the other tribes,[a]
I, the Lord, will wipe you out,
just as a scorching desert wind
    dries up streams of water.
I will take away
    your precious treasures.
