14 The dead do not live;
    shades do not rise
because you have punished and destroyed them
    and wiped out all memory of them.(A)

    you have enlarged all the borders of the land.(B)

    you have enlarged the nation.[d]
You have gained honor;
    you have extended all the borders of the land.
