Hosea 13:16

The Coming Judgment

¹⁵ The people of Ephraim have become important among their relatives. However, Jehovah's scorching wind will come from the east. It will blow out of the desert. Then their springs will run dry, and their wells will dry up. The wind will destroy every precious thing in their storehouses. ¹⁶ Samaria will be held guilty,
For she has rebelled against her God.
They will fall by the sword,
Their little ones will be dashed in pieces,
And their pregnant women will be ripped open.
