Hosea 13:15-16

New International Version

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.
¹⁶The people of Samaria^(E) must bear their guilt,^(F)
    because they have rebelled^(G) against their God.
They will fall by the sword;^(H)
    their little ones will be dashed^(I) to the ground,
    their pregnant women^(J) ripped open.”^[a]

¹⁵Even though he is fruitful compared to his relatives,
    an east wind will come,

His fountain will dry up,
    and the Lord’s^[a] wind storm will plunder
        all the expensive vessels of the treasury.
¹⁶^[b]Samaria will be held guilty,
    because she has rebelled against her God.
