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.”

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.
