Hosea 13:15

Next

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.

Though he be fruitful {H6500} among his brethren {H251}, an east wind {H6921} shall come {H935}, the wind {H7307} of the LORD {H3068} shall come up {H5927} from the wilderness {H4057}, and his spring {H4726} shall become dry {H954}, and his fountain {H4599} shall be dried up {H2717}: he shall spoil {H8154} the treasure {H214} of all pleasant {H2532} vessels {H3627}.

Where are your plagues, death; where is your destruction, Sh'ol? My eyes are closed to compassion. For though he flourishes among the reeds, an east wind will come, a wind from ADONAI, blowing up from the desert. Then his water source will dry up, then his spring will fail it will plunder his treasury, removing every precious thing."

Although he flourishes among his brothers, an east wind will come— a wind from the LORD rising up from the desert. His fountain will fail, and his spring will run dry. The wind will plunder his treasury of every precious article.

Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.
