The Capital of the Northern Empire Will Be Destroyed

13:15 Even though he flourishes like a reed plant,31

a scorching east wind will come,

a wind from the Lord rising up from the desert.

As a result, his spring will dry up;32

his well will become dry.

That wind33 will spoil all his delightful foods

in the containers in his storehouse.

13:16 (14:1)34 Samaria will be held guilty,35

because she rebelled against her God.

They will fall by the sword,

their infants will be dashed to the ground—

their36 pregnant women will be ripped open.
