Hosea 13:15-16
Living Bible
15 “He was called the most fruitful of all his brothers, but the east wind—a wind of the Lord from the desert—will blow hard upon him and dry up his land. All his flowing springs and green oases will dry away, and he will die of thirst. 16 Samaria must bear her guilt, for she rebelled against her God. Her people will be killed by the invading army, her babies dashed to death against the ground, her pregnant women ripped open with a sword.”

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]
