Context Readings

Death And Resurrection

13 Therefore shall sorrows come upon him, as upon a woman that travaileth. An indiscreet son is he: for he considereth not, that he should not have been able to have endured in the time of his birth, 14 had not I defended him from the grave, and delivered him from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I will be thy sting. 15 Yet can I see no comfort, for when he is now the goodliest among the brethren, the East wind, even the wind of the LORD, shall come down from the wilderness, and dry up his conduits, and drink up his wells: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
