Hosea 13:15-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Coming Judgment
15 Although he flourishes among his brothers,[a](A)
an east wind will come,(B)
a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.
His water source will fail,
and his spring will run dry.(C)
The wind[b] will plunder the treasury(D)
of every precious item.
16 [c]Samaria(E) will bear her guilt(F)
because she has rebelled against her God.(G)
They will fall by the sword;(H)
their little ones will be dashed to pieces,(I)
and their pregnant women ripped open.(J)

Hosea 13:15-16
International Standard Version
15 Even though he is fruitful compared to his relatives,
an east wind will come,
the Lord’s wind storm from the wilderness,
and his spring will evaporate.
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.
By the sword they will fall—
with their infants dashed to pieces,
and their pregnant women torn open.”
