15     Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come,
    the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness;
    and his spring will become dry,
    and his fountain will be dried up.
    He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
16 Samaria will bear her guilt;
    for she has rebelled against her God.
    They will fall by the sword.
    Their infants will be dashed in pieces,
    and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
