Hosea 13:15-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Israel grows among his brothers,
    but a powerful east wind will come—the Lord’s wind will blow from the desert.
Then his well will dry up.
    His spring of water will be dry.
    The wind will take away anything of value.
¹⁶ Samaria must be punished
    because she turned against her God.
The Israelites will be killed with swords.
    Their children will be torn to pieces,
    and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
