Even though Ephraim ran wild,

the black sheep of the family.

15–16“God’s tornado is on its way,

roaring out of the desert.

It will devastate the country,

leaving a trail of ruin and wreckage.

The cities will be gutted,

dear possessions gone for good.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Though he may flourish among his brothers,

the east wind, the wind of the Lord, shall come,

rising from the wilderness,

and his fountain shall dry up;

his spring shall be parched;

it shall strip his treasury

of every precious thing.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

even though he thrives among his brothers.

An east wind from the Lord will come,

blowing in from the desert;

his spring will fail

and his well dry up.

His storehouse will be plundered

of all its treasures.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Although he flourishes among his brothers,

an east wind will come,

a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.

His water source will fail,

and his spring will run dry.

The wind will plunder the treasury

of every precious item.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Although he may flourish among reeds,

the east wind will come, a wind of Yahweh

rising from the desert;

his fountain will dry up,

his spring will be parched.

It will plunder his treasury,

every object of desire.

KJV 1900King James Version

Though he be fruitful among his brethren,

An east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness,

And his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up:

He shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
