15 Though he (A)is fruitful among the [a]reeds,
An (B)east wind will come,
The wind of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness;
And his fountain will (C)become dry,
And his spring will be dried up;
It will (D)plunder his treasury of every desirable article.
16 [b]Samaria will be held (E)guilty,
For she has (F)rebelled against her God.
(G)They will fall by the (H)sword;
Their infants will be (I)dashed in pieces,
And their pregnant (J)women will be ripped open.
