Hosea 13:15-16
New American Standard Bible
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.

Hosea 13:15-16
Common English Bible
15 Although he may flourish among rushes,
the east wind will come—
the breath of God
rising from the wilderness;
and his spring will dry up;
his fountain will be dried up.
It will strip his household
of every cherished possession.
16 [a] Samaria will be desolate,
because she has rebelled against her God;
by the sword they will fall—
their babies will be dashed,
and their pregnant women ripped open.
