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
New Living Translation
15 Ephraim was the most fruitful of all his brothers,
but the east wind—a blast from the Lord—
will arise in the desert.
All their flowing springs will run dry,
and all their wells will disappear.
Every precious thing they own
will be plundered and carried away.
16 [a]The people of Samaria
must bear the consequences of their guilt
because they rebelled against their God.
They will be killed by an invading army,
their little ones dashed to death against the ground,
their pregnant women ripped open by swords.”
