Like whirlwinds^(C) sweeping through the southland,^(D)
    an invader comes from the desert,
    from a land of terror.

¹⁵     even though he thrives^(A) among his brothers.
An east wind^(B) from the Lord will come,
    blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
    and his well dry up.^(C)
His storehouse will be plundered^(D)
    of all its treasures.
