Hosea 13:15-16
Contemporary English Version
Hosea 13:15-16
Contemporary English Version
15 No matter if you prosper
more than the other tribes,[a]
I, the Lord, will wipe you out,
just as a scorching desert wind
dries up streams of water.
I will take away
your precious treasures.
16 Samaria[b] will be punished
for turning against me.
It will be destroyed in war—
children will be beaten
against rocks,
and pregnant women
will be ripped open.

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.
16 The 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]
