15 Though (A)he may flourish among his brothers,
    (B)the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come,
    rising from the wilderness,
(C)and his fountain shall dry up;
    his spring shall be parched;
it shall strip (D)his treasury
    of every precious thing.
16 [a] Samaria (E)shall bear her guilt,
    because (F)she has rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword;
    (G)their little ones shall be dashed in pieces,
    and their (H)pregnant women ripped open.

15 Though he (A)flourishes among the [a]reeds,
An (B)east wind will come,
The wind of the Lord coming up from the wilderness;
And his fountain will (C)become dry
And his spring will dry up;
It will (D)plunder his treasury of every precious article.
16 [b]Samaria will pay the penalty for her (E)guilt,
Because she has (F)rebelled against her God.
(G)They will fall by the (H)sword,
Their children will be [c](I)slaughtered,
And their pregnant (J)women will be ripped open.
